CORRESPONDENCE TO MEMBERS via email on Friday 20 March
Dear Members,
Thank you to all the Members who have sent in their support over recent days – it means a great deal to us all.
Based on the latest Government announcement earlier, and after meeting with the Executive, below is an update on the Club and our services moving forward;
- The Clubhouse food and beverage trading will continue to be closed. In better news our “Home Cooked Meal” pick up and run offer will continue from the Ken King Centre indefinitely. We are open tomorrow from 8am – 4pm, Sunday 10am – 4pm and into next week Mon-Fri from 12 noon – 6pm. Our Home Delivery service will also continue please call 9599 0999 (now open to all within < 15km). Our meat supplier is also happy to continue his offer to you all – he was overwhelmed in the first 24 hours with your response so he employed one of our chefs for the day (order form attached… min order $150 & $10 delivery)
- Our Marina will remain accessible 24/7 on an ongoing basis.
- Our Boat Yard Operations will remain open for slipping on an ongoing basis (Mon – Sat).
- Our On-Water activities will cease after this Sunday 22 March. So for clarity there will be no organised Club activities in any of our Keelboat, OTB, Recreational Boating or Academy areas from this Monday 23 March moving forward. This decision, like all of our decisions will be constantly reviewed and like you, we will be doing our very best to get back out on the water asap & when deemed appropriate.
- New Member Service – like our food offer, we’ve been working on some new ideas. In a bid to keep our awesome boating team employed during this downtime, they have the ability to assist you with your vessels. Please click on this link …it involves a basic service cleaning your boat and doing some simple checks. Please reach out to the boating office if interested.
- SYC Staff Generally – as we have had to shut some services, we have staff who will need work. If your business or someone you know is in need of staff, we have great people with lots of different skills – administration, accounts, chefs, kitchenhands, social media, website stuff, database management, fork lift drivers & transport drivers. Our staff have mortgages, kids and grand-kids – so they’ll do anything to get through this next few months. Please let me know personally if you could use some of my staff 0419 886 799 / [email protected]
Warm Regards & Stay Safe,
Richard Hewett
Chief Executive
