To all Sluice Pill users and those accessing the slipway via the sluice bridge.

Imerys marine contractor, TMS, will be on site this coming Thursday and Friday (26th & 27th June), undertaking structural works on and around the sluice bridge (removing the old sluice winches and platform). This will likely mean closing the bridge for that period. 

Some mooring ropes within the sluice will be altered during the works and access through the main sluice maybe impacted for those two days.

To all slipway and sluice pill users.

Imerys marine engineering contractors (TMS) will be on site from the 2nd June for approx. 6 weeks. They will be undertaking structural maintenance works along the North wall and also the sluice bridge area.

This work may impact sluice pill berths as movements in and out could be restricted and trailered boats maybe redirected via the roadway to the West of the sluice pill.

If you have any concerns or questions, please let me know and I will feed it back to Imerys for clarification.

It is with great sadness that we have to inform you that our dear friend and valued committee member Andy, passed away at the weekend. Our thoughts and prayers are with Andy’s family.

Andy was a Boat Club committee member right from the start of the club back in 2000 and was a key member when the club was “getting off the ground”. He has undertaken many tasks, including general repairs to the slipway and other club assets, as well as his long standing commitment, together with Simon, ensuring the slipway and steps were kept clean and safe for us all to use. Andy spent countless hours at the docks, keeping a watchful eye on things. His work and commitment to the club will be greatly missed.

We will let you know when funeral details have been announced as, no doubt, many members will wish to attend.

Rob.

Andy’s funeral arrangements have been posted on the Personal Choice Funeral Directors page.

It is a private family funeral service followed by a celebration of Andy’s life to be held at 2.30pm, on the 6th June, at the St Austell Rugby Club.
