RULES FOR SAILING AT LAKESIDE
These rules have been set by the University.  It is therefore essential that we follow them:

1.  Anyone launching, sailing or retrieving a boat on any of the pools must wear a lifejacket.
Many members have their own, and they are available from outdoor shops or the internet at reasonable prices.  Alternatively you can borrow one from the store behind the main building.  Make a mental note where you have taken it from and be sure to return it to exactly the same place.  If the store is locked, find a member of staff.

2.  Car parking at Lakeside should, as far as possible, be on hardcore areas.
If the hardcore area at the small pool is full, park on the grass as close as possible to it.

3.  Do not drive to any other point on the edge of any pool.

4.  Whichever pool you sail on, there must be at least one other person with you who can offer or summon help if you get into difficulty.

CLUB CAPS
A number of members have requested club caps.  These can't be ordered individually from the manufacturer because the machine takes too long to set up, so we have ordered a batch of about a dozen.  This will be enough to satisfy those who are waiting, and will also give us a few 'spares'.  So if you would like one please see Graham or Andrea Povey. There are still a few left!

DISINFECTING BOAT HULLS
In order to do our bit to prevent the possible transfer of blue-green algae from one site to another, please disinfect your boat hulls before and after you sail at any site.  Antibacterial wipes or spray will do the job, or alternatively a suitably diluted disinfectant solution (e.g. Dettol, or similar) in a pound-shop spray bottle, then wiped dry with kitchen roll would do the job admirably. Please note that this action is a requirement, not a request, so please come prepared!
