Club What’s On:
- Regatta - It is hoped we may be able to hold the Regatta this year, but is largely dependant on RYA advice around "organised activity" - hopefully an update on July 6th from Welsh Government will allow us to go ahead with the Regatta on Saturday July 25th
- IRC Welsh National Championship - planning has started on a "stripped down" championship which we hope to hold within the constraints of regulations and RYA Cymru Wales advice.
- ISORA re-boot program has been published with a fleet finish in Pwllheli on 1st August, and four coastal races starting and finishing in Pwllheli - see here
Plas Heli:
- Remains locked down due to Government restrictions, and work is ongoing to manage the pathway to reopening, with our Franchisee Geoff looking at all options to resume his catering offerings
- It is now possible for us to look at opening up a restroom in Plas Heli, for the use of pontoon/compound users, when the protocol for this has been completed, those with access will be forwarded the details.
- We are seeking volunteers to help with some general landscaping, grass cutting and window cleaning – please reply to this e-newsletter or email
