Today the members of Bewl Valley Sailing Club have held an extraordinary general meeting at which there has been a positive discussion about the current position and future prospects for the club.
The clubhouse was standing room only demonstrating the level of interest and commitment of the membership to the future of the club.
Bewl Valley Sailing Club provides an amazing facility enjoyed by many, including Families, Schools, Youth, Competitive Sailors, and not to forget Mariners of Bewl which provides opportunities for disabled sailors. We do not want to see the club close or go into administration.
The members have shown unanimous support for the actions taken to date and given the flag officers and main committee a mandate to secure the future of our club.
The members also showed overwhelming support to improve the volunteering ethos of the club.
The club would like to correct today’s news reports and state the landlord is not looking to increase the rent, but that the club can no longer afford the rent payments it had previously agreed to and are looking to find a mutually workable restructuring of terms with the landlord.
The Flag Officers will therefore engage in further discussions with appropriate parties and a further statement will be issued in due course.
