Rob Daws Award

On Saturday 10th October Robert Daws was presented with a Royal Yachting Association (RYA) Lifetime Commitment Award by Ian Walker, MBE, the President of Chipstead Sailing Club and Director of Racing at the RYA. Ian himself sailed at Chipstead from the age of 8 and attended Sevenoaks School, before establishing his racing career.

Usually this would have been awarded by Princess Anne at an event in London, however Covid has meant a move to local presentation.

Rob Daws’ father had been one of the early members of the club in 1953 and Rob started sailing at Chipstead in 1954, with his sisters crewing for him. He became a full member in 1956 and has been a member ever since.

Out of Hours Protocol

The General Committee felt it may be helpful to give some guidance for the use of the Club grounds and water when the Clubhouse is NOT open and there is no organised racing planned.

This Protocol can be downloaded here.

Return to Racing

RETURN TO RACING AND RE-OPENING OF CLUBHOUSE AND BUILDINGS

Further to our previous communications, as members will be aware, it is intended to recommence Organised Racing again as from Saturday 1st August 2020, and as from the same date re-open the Clubhouse at weekends, albeit at first on a limited basis.

Members will appreciate that in order to comply with the Government restrictions still in place, a considerable number of changes will need to be made in our Procedures both off and on the water.

Catering at CSC

A reminder to all Club members that the Kitchen will be open on Saturdays and Sundays serving food as per the attached Menu at the times set out thereon.

In addition, the caterers will be adding a hot main meal as a menu special each week at only £5.

All being well, the kitchen will also be selling chocolates and other sweets.

At the hours the kitchen is open, facilities will also be made available for members to make their own teas and coffees from a table outside the Clubhouse front door by the Courseboard.

To assist the caterers, please if possible pre-order your food on coming to the Club.

Finally can I remind members that the much preferred payment method for BOTH the Kitchen AND the Bar is by card, and members are especially asked to assist in this regard, which also helps with Covid-19 precautions.

Please support our caterers in their efforts to provide a valuable service for Club members in these difficult times, by making as much use of the kitchen as possible. 

And I am sure the same goes for the Bar as well!
