Avian flu has been found present in a small number of birds at Chew Valley lake and we all need to work together to help prevent any potential spread. Please follow guidance detailed in the club news and signed around the clubhouse when visiting the club. More details about the flu can be found at the links below:

When is Sailing Permitted at Chew?Dave Oakey2022-01-13T09:50:34+00:00
Permitted days are on Sat, Sun, Wed and Thu and those Bank Holiday Mondays where General Sailing is listed in the Calendar.
You may sail on those permitted days subject to rescue cover in accordance with the club safety policies.
At weekends, and those Bank Holiday Mondays with General Sailing, we roster rescue cover from 10:00 until 18:00 on Saturdays and Sundays.
On Wednesdays rescue cover is rostered to cover the period 10:00-16:00 during the day, and in the evening from 18:00 when there is racing scheduled over the summer.
Rescue cover is also rostered for the Thursday Improvers/Start Racing and Fun Thursdays events listed in the Calendar.
You can view rostered rescue cover on Dutyman if you are unsure.
Remember, on permissible sailing days at times when there is no rescue cover rostered, sailing is still permissible provided RIB cover is provided in accordance with the Buddy Group Safety Policy
Sailing is NOT permitted before 10:00 and only when the club burgee is flying from the flagpole outside the clubhouse.
Sailing must end half an hour before Sunset
In Summer (15-Mar to 15-Sep) extra conditions apply
Sailing must end an hour before Sunset
Sailing may end at 18:00 at Duty Officer’s discretion.
