Dear Members

The General Committee has regretfully decided to close the Sutton Dinghy Club clubhouse building from 13.00 today, 20th March until further notice in order to protect the health of members and staff. This decision is in line with the Government’s recommendations and has been taken following consideration of the high level of contagion associated with COVID 19.

We have issued Membership Renewal and Boat Parking notices as usual at this time of the year. Despite the current situation, the Club continues to have financial commitments it must continue to meet and membership renewals are key to enabling these commitment. It is important that members pay promptly on receipt but given the current circumstances, if anyone is experiencing difficulties in this regard it will be understood as these are very unusual times

Further information will be published on the SDC website when available. If any member needs help or has any issue that we can assist you with, please contact the Office at 01-8393135 or email info@sdc.ie as Club emails will be monitored on a regular basis.

Some members have boats in the dinghy park and may want to work on them over coming week. As long as social distancing is maintained this should not be a problem. You must make sure the dinghy park is locked when you are inside. If you do not have your key please contact Club via info@sdc.ie and we can arrange a new key with a €10 deposit.

We thank you for your continued support during this unprecedented crisis and wish for you all to stay safe and well.

Kind regards,

Ian McCormack
