• The Inn on the Lake has now opened for business, and that means at the moment dining outside only on the terrace and island bar. The island bar will be open and operational from Thursday - Sunday from 11.30am onwards from April 12th to September 30th. This means our official sailing days during summer are Monday and Wednesday, and other days up to 11.30am when the island bar opens. Please access the island via the usual walkway.

DO NOT USE ANY OF THE TABLES OR CHAIRS PROVIDED THESE HAVE BEEN SANITISED READY FOR CLIENT USE AND BOOKED DIRECTLY WITH SILVERMERE.

• Goose island has been moved and the jetty is clear for launching yachts and boats. The barrier is still across the entrance to the terrace but you can just move it to gain access, but please make sure it gets closed behind you. Don’t forget to fill in the track and trace log if you are at the lake. Use the 2021 tracker section at the back. Richard will bring a new diary on Friday April 16th.

Club activity during partial lockdown and easing if restrictions through to 21st June.

• At the moment the club is not planning any activity other than any socially distanced sailing at Silvermere for a maximum of six people. Although at the moment this is hindered by the presence of the nesting goose. As lockdown releases see here: https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/covid-19-response-spring-2021/covid-19-response-spring-2021-summary and the restrictions are hopefully lifted we will plan more events and activity including club nights and an AGM. We look forward to a fuller programme from the middle half of the year.

Nesting Canada goose blocking the jetty launching area!

• During lockdown a floating pontoon/island with a nesting Canada goose on it has appeared in front of the jetty. Nobody, so far has any idea where it came from? Silvermere management have been made aware of the problem but so far no comment. We will keep you informed. At the moment we cannot use the jetty due to the proximity of the nest.
