The relevant contractors are aware and in the process of resolving Members' Update. Join us on 20th February where the Committee will be sharing how we are continuing to move the club forward.

Closure of Haslar Road. We have received notification that work is going to be undertaken on Haslar Road, from Clayhall Road to South Street ie its entire length, from 16th Feb for 6 days, although on the website it says until 27th Feb. During this time the road is going to be 'closed to through traffic any (sic) time between from 0930-1600 on each of the days'. The notification also says 'access for residents and businesses will only be maintained if safe to do so. We are trying to find out if this will be phased or whether there will be complete closure for the entire period; we will inform you when we have clarity but please bear in mind during the period access may be problematic. New contact phone numbers. You are aware of the mobile phone numbers to contact the General Manager and Marina Team. For the GM please use the landline number, 02392580403 option 3, during normal office hours but the mobile for out of hours contact or if you have been unable to get through via landline.
