** UPDATE -Nighttime  Launching Ban Lifted  **

Temporary Launching and Retrieving restrictions at Par Harbour.

Dear Members,

As the weather is due to warm up (ever so slightly), you may wish to launch at Par over the holiday period.

Please be aware that our neighbouring business, Keynvor Morlift, presently have a large barge and machinery moored just outside of our slipway. Whilst launching and retrieving of boats will still be possible, the approach to the slipway will not be straight forward and you should allow additional time for yourselves and other users.

A stern anchor is also deployed on the seaward side and marked with a bouy.

The barge will be in place for approximately 3 weeks. 

SABBC Committee.

Thank you all very much for the vouchers you kindly gave to myself and Annie, they are very much appreciated.
Wishing the continued success of the boat club.
Kind regards,
Rod

Due to unforeseen circumstances, the barge, presently situated in front of the slipway, will remain in this position for a further 4 to 6 weeks.
Please take extra care when manoeuvrings past the barge and allow a little more time when launching or retrieving.

Rob Hancock,
Secretary.

Please note that the hose outside the Pilots Office was removed last year due to the Hose Pipe Ban imposed by South West Water. The tap has also been locked-off to prevent further use.

Thank you for your understanding in this matter and we look forward to reinstating this facility when the Ban has been lifted and we can legally use Hose pipes again.
