Due to the unprecedented COV-19 situation, membership renewals will not take place until we have clear direction from the UK government. The committee will notify existing members of a date that renewals will take place once restrictions are lifted. The committee will also offer payment options for those who cannot attend a renewals event.
Take Care, Stay Safe
In light of the latest government advice, we have taken the decision to cease all Society activities (meetings, competitions and work parties) until the end of April or until we get the all clear. We are also closing the lake as of this morning.
We will keep you posted as we receive further advice and as we make decisions regarding membership renewal etc.
Please take care of yourselves and your families during this difficult time.
Given the current government advice we will not hold a meeting in April and will be postponing the AGM until May, although we may have to move it further if the situation persists. Outdoor activities including competitions and work parties will take place as these are considered to be lower risk. We will continue to monitor the situation and adjust our activities as appropriate.
Note that the lake remains open but we do urge members to follow the advice given by the government; especially those members who are in the high risk groups.
Please be aware that there is a fallen tree blocking the pathway leading up to the high bank just past the new fence. Members should not to use this path until the tree can be removed and the area made safe.
With effect from March 2020 Society Meetings will be held on the first Tuesday of the month at the George IV PH, 120 Rectory Place, Woolwich, London SE18 5BY .
Many thanks to all the members who attended Saturday’s work party. Your efforts are much appreciated and the lake is now looking great.
The presentation was held at the Meridian Sports Club on the evening of 5th December 2019. Thank you to all the members who supported this event. A total of £32.00 was raised from the raffle and this will be added to the funds of the society’s nominated charity, Marie Curie.
Special thanks go to Keith Gavin for running the event and Sarah Smith for helping to prepare the buffet.
