New and Improved Weather Station – the purchase of a flag pole, weather station and webcam for improved vital weather data.
UPDATE – 22 MARCH 2019 – Cllr Dearden has agreed for funding to be diverted towards the purchase of a new boat.
Every March we have regular maintenance days where the club volunteers get together and get the club and equipment ship shape for the summer season. At last weeks session we discovered that one of our rescue boats seems to be damaged beyond economical repair – this is bad news as without the rescue boat we can’t race or run training sessions, which we are due to start up in early April.
At our Committee meeting last night we discussed the progress with the weather station and flag pole and as these items have not yet been purchased I suggested that I ask if you would consider us being able to divert the grants you provided us with away from the flagpole and weather station and towards the purchase of a new rescue boat which will set us back in the region of £3-4,000. I am sure you can understand that this has to be a priority for us, over the weather station and flagpole.
