Club pontoon mostly available for use

The contractors have given us permission to use the club pontoon. We will not be able to access it when they are working on it.

The pontoon will be closed on the following dates when additional work will be undertaken.

Until the repairs are complete, please take care when using the pontoon. In particular, be careful not to scrape boats (or limbs) on the various sharp edges and corners on the pontoon. They will be fixed soon.
