Chairman's Blog – 25 May 2012



Met with management this morning. This summarises our conversation:

Pontoons:   Many boards have been used and the new gratings installed. More money has been requested to complete all the walkways. Storm damage repairs have been agreed with Walcon installing replacements very soon.

Dredging:   None has been done recently as Thumper is u/s again and negotiations with Turners continue.   (Results of survey of sea bottom in the marina have now been made available – Notice boards).

Toilets:    Shed 4 toilets are still not working. EL have not agreed to repair and reinstate. This is a matter of  joint concern. I stated I would write to EL.

Boat Jumble:     The date has been booked for 24 Feb 2013.

Active Marina:    Despite requests for input for events to be run, none were forthcoming. Agreed to draw up some requests.

Weather Station:   Still willing and will assist with Pole, brackets and linelaying. Telephone lines from Loop Shed are  EL's - one can be used.  Adam will contact EL's IT  dept. for what is required. We are asked to state our IT and comms. needs too.

Website:   Revised website for BHA is being generated. PE are interested in seeing the outcome.

Environmental Actions:   Dumps are now available for glass recycling, antifoul tins, oil filters and waste oil.

Invasive species:   St Andrews University team is to study visiting yachts and washdown waste for evidence of invasive species. Project is to start next year.
