The only people who are allowed to walk around our Complex are Club Officials who will be wearing a dark green hi viz vest and a mask whilst on the Tolpits Lake, Ebury Way Bank.

When on our waters or whatever you decide to do,take great care and Stay Safe, think not only about yourself but, others too.
