This event will start straight after Club night finishes at 6:30pm.  STOP! Two serious matters that need to be addressed. 1) VHF Channel 3: The Club are the proud owners of VHF Channel 3 but are receiving more and more complaints from concerned members about the abusive language and total disrespect for others some people are showing while using Channel 3. For those that aren’t aware, every call is recorded. While the Club has not actioned these recordings as yet, if the abuse of Channel 3 continues we will take the next steps required to stop this happening, including shutting the channel down when abusive users persist in using the channel. 2) Fish heads and skeletons in the Marina. There have been a number of incidences lately of fish heads and skeletons found floating in the Marine, which is just not on. We don’t know who is responsible, and hopefully it is not any Club members, so this is just a reminder to all that it is your responsibility to dispose of all fish remains in an appropriate manner.
