VERY IMPORTANT INFORMATION FOR ALL MEMBERS.

Following recent communication with Imerys, it has been agreed that a personal floatation device (PFD) must be worn by each member of your party whilst afloat within the confines of Par Harbour, on both departure and return. This new PFD ruling also applies to all persons accessing the walkway and steps, or any other area within 2.0m of a vertical edge adjacent to open water. The definition of a PFD would include Lifejacket, Life Vest, Life Preserver, Floatation Suit or Ski Vest. This new ruling applies with immediate effect and will be added to future issues of SABBC Club Rules.

Rob Hancock,

Secretary.
