Although we could have dined outside on tables of six, we have decided given the current situation to cancel the event. We hope to be back for next year's event.

- The current national lockdown will end on Wednesday December 2nd 2020. We will be returning to a Tiered system across the country, each area with it's own specified tier. Currently Silvermere in Surrey will be Tier 2. That means that we must follow all the guidelines and restrictions for that tier. For our club that means a return to sailing but a maximum of six, socially distanced, at the lake and continuing to use the diary for track and trace purposes. Please make sure you follow the guidelines published by the government here:https://www.gov.uk/guidance/full-list-of-local-restriction-tiers-by-area

- Some of you may remember that there was a film crew at Silvermere earlier this year filming scenes for a documentary about the bouncing bomb, part of Operation Chastise (The Dambusters Raid) Silvermere was used by Barnes Wallis in the development of the 'Upkeep' bomb used on the raid. In 1942, Barnes Wallis and his secretary, rowing champion Amy Gentry, rowed out onto the lake where Wallis fired differently-shaped models from a catapult and Gentry then rowed to retrieve them. Later, in 1943, George Edwards, the manager of the Experimental department used the lake to demonstrate the mechanism for spinning and releasing the bombs.
