Site Parking
The Army Rowing Club have had a re-organisation of how their rowing boats are stored.  Because of this parking is now on the left hand side of the site. Please park with the front of your car facing the fence on the Sailing club side of the site so as not to restrict access to the rowing boats.

Also just a reminder that we should not park on the road so please try and park as efficiently as possible so that as many cars can get on the site as possible.
