Our Boat Park

[Lesley Kent-Brown]

Good morning Cutters,
I thought you'd be interested to hear that Marilyn has been chatting to Sally Leslie, who owns the Mill.  We were concerned that she and Richard may have heard rumours in the village about our rowing club moving and be upset.  Her reply was 'Regarding the Cutters, we are very happy for them to stay put and enjoy seeing all the comings and goings.  The only small proviso is the when the tide is in, the High Street is for residents to park, not rowers!'
I know this doesn't resolve our longterm future, but it certainly allays our fears about the near future!
Lesley

Tks Lesley. What good people and what a lovely position to be in.

[Liz Walmsley]

Great that we have their support for the time being.  It really is appreciated.

[Wendy and Stephen]

Thanks Lesley and Marilyn,  great news 👍 🚣‍♂️🚣‍♀️

[Claire Tomlinson]

That’s good to hear. Does that mean we can stop negotiations with LSC and just stay where we are?

[BobbyClayton]

That’s great ,plus  puts a lot of minds at peace worrying about the future
Well done you two , great to know it can carry on as before

[Greg Spencer]

Well done Lesley to take the opportunity, thank you for the news and great to hear the continued goodwill Mill / Boat Park / LCRC relationship. Greg

I don't think anyone had any doubt about the short term future of our boat park.  We do,  indeed  have a wonderful relationship with the owners.  This was never in question.

The current working group, pulled from a wide range of members, are in discussion with LSC looking at the long- term future of rowing in Langstone.

The ownership of the Mill WILL change one day. The work going on now,  in line with the wishes of 73% of the members at the EGM, is to investigate that future security.

Tks Mark. Whilst I agree with the work I think the word may rather than will should be used. Let's enjoy the welcoming security we so kindly are given.
