We will be at the Pilots Office on Saturday 18th November from 10am to 11am to receive Membership Renewal Forms for 2024. There will not be any further opportunities to hand in your Renewal Forms so please submit them on that date. Forms can be downloaded beforehand from the Website and fees can be paid by Bank Transfer (quoting your membership number), cash or cheque.

Any member who has not renewed by December 31st 2023 will lose their right to membership and have to reapply, with no guarantee of being accepted.

Following further clarification from Imerys, and their kind offer to use their weighbridge, The Executive Committee has concluded the following actions for boat club members:

If you think the combined weight of your vehicle, boat and trailer is over 3.0 tonnes, please carry out the following procedure.

• On your next visit to the harbour (with your boat), go over the weighbridge and note the combined weight of your vehicle, boat and trailer. You will observe your gross weight on the display screen through the weighbridge window, This gross weight should then be written in our signing in register, either under your name or within the “Department/Address” column.
• When using the weighbridge, please give priority to Imerys or other commercial vehicles wishing to use it and obey any instruction given by Imerys Personnel.
• Reflective waistcoats should be worn when at this location.
• If your gross weight is over 3.5 tonnes, you should not go over the weak bridge, but gain access to and from the slipway via the access road to the north of the sluice pond.
• If your gross weight is under 3.5 tonnes, you should proceed over the weak bridge and access the slip in the normal way.
• This Procedure is only required on one occasion unless your gross weight increases/decreases.
• Please notify the committee through the FB page of any difficulties or concerns you may have.

Thank you for your cooperation on this matter - The Executive.

In the event of a Fuel/Oil spillage please use the spillage kit provided. There are two sacks of Safety Tread Absorbent Granules under the desk in the Signing In shed. These are to be placed on the spillage to absorb the leakage. There is a dustpan and brush along with a hand shovel in the SPILLAGE KIT BIN. This is to be used to clean up the spillage waste which should then be placed in the SPILLAGE WASTE BIN. Don’t forget to log this incident in the Incident Book (which is in the Signing In Shed) and report spillage to a member of the committee.

If there is a discharge into the water, please let Clay Control know on their EMERGENCY ONLY NUMBER: 01726 828999 as this type of incident is reportable and specialist booms are required to absorb the film from the surface of the water.

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.

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.

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

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.
