permitted. Activities such as sailing, windsurfing, SUP, and surfing are
permitted as long as the activity does not involve closed facilities such
as ESC, is completed within 5 km of where you live (10 km from June 4),
and is conducted with members of your household or with one other person
only. Outdoor exercise is limited to 2 hours per day. Enjoy what you can!
In line with the requirements of the COVID lockdown announced today the clubhouse including boat storage will be closed from midnight today, Thursday May 27th, for 7 days. Key fobs will be turned off.

A reminder that anyone attending ESC must register using the QR code, no exceptions. This app remembers your details when used once at a location, so you do not need to fill in your details again at that specific location.
Have fun!
