Boat Security
There was an incident with a group of school kids last Wednesday that was dealt with by club members at the time. No harm was done, this time. However, can I remind you to make sure your boat and trolley is properly secured and your insurance is up to date. Please keep me informed about any suspicious behaviour you see and try to get video footage. Many thanks, Richard De Lisle.
