First of all we would like to
thank all the members who have put their boats into the water and tidied away
all the blocks etc that they had used.
We hope all members will continue to tidy up as their boats are put into
the water.
It has come to the chairman’s
attention that a council representative visited the pier on Friday 2nd
of May, without the civility of notifying the club in advance.
He then approached Alex Hardie and without
introducing himself demanded to know why Alex was in the workshop. At this point the committee has had no
official communication from the council regarding any notice to quit the
workshop and therefore any approach or aggressive conduct by any council
representative is illegal under Scot’s Law.
The chairman is posting this
email on the blog to let any followers of our cause know of the current state
of affairs.
In the interest of clarification
of the current situation we have agreed in principle to an open meeting with
the Community Trust at the pier , further
details will be made available to you as soon as we have them . All members should attend if possible and
will be able to express their views.
This meeting does not imply collusion or co-operation with the Community
Trust by the Chairman and committee, it
is simply to provide an opportunity for a free and frank exchange of views
