Covid-19 Update - 25th March 2020
Published 19:10 on 25 Mar 2020
In view of the most recent statement from our Prime Minister (23/03/2020) and advice taken from the RYA's legal team, Committee have taken the view that to fully comply with the Government's instructions, we need to close access to the Ripon Sailing Club site. In practical terms, this means that the access systems will be switched to the manual facility and key cards will cease to work.
Emergency access will be maintained, but we ask that members do not travel to site. The Prime Minister's current advice suggests that this closure will be re-evaluated in three weeks and we will update you once we have further guidance.
I am grateful to all those members who have reached out and voiced their support for this committee's actions - your kind words are appreciated. We are living through unique and uncertain times and I say once again, that in times of crisis, family and friendship is the backbone of what we stand for and if you need any support during the days and weeks ahead, whether it be a friendly chat or more practical help, please reach out to me, and to your Committee, for assistance.
