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,

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.

Very many thanks to our committee members for their time and effort in carrying out the swift repairs to the slipway. We are now happy that the slip can be used as normal and the night time ban has been lifted. Thank you all for your patience in this matter.

** UPDATE -Nighttime  Launching Ban Lifted  **

Due to Health and Safety concerns the Committee have imposed a ban on launching from the slipway between the hours of 1800 (6pm) and 0800 (8am).  These restrictions take immediate effect as of today, Monday 24th October 2022 and will be reviewed next year.

Anyone found in breach of these restrictions will be removed from the Club.
