Thank you so much for supporting the Friends of CVSS 200 Club in 2020. Our 104 members have raised a massive £1580 for CVSS after the prizes and licence have been paid for. This has been a real lifeline for CVSS during the pandemic, as aside from a few donations, this has been our main source of income to meet our financial commitments.  

Major flooding in the Aquadrome has led to it's closure to the public. Heavy rain in January and February as caused flooding all around Bury Lake, Batchworth Lake, the River Colne and the canal. 

Report following the AGM which was held via ZOOM on 21st October 2020

What a year to become Chairman. Confucius says it is not good to live in interesting times and I think I agree with him.

I have had fantastic support from my fellow Trustees and the Committee and I would like to thank them for this As a result of COVID-19 we have been unable to sail this season and I know everyone has missed it. Unlike last year, the water levels have remained high, but we cannot dwell on what might have been. We have had sufficient financial reserves so, unlike many Charities, we have had one less thing to worry about. Obviously the 200 Club has helped and I would like to thank my fellow trustee, Phil for the idea and making it happen.

We have tried to keep in touch with people over the summer through a WhatsApp Group, our new Facebook page, Newsletters and Zoom. If you would like more information about any of these, please contact Frances or myself. We have also revamped and updated our website to make it more accessible for sailors and volunteers. Any feedback on these would be most welcome.

A WhatsApp group is available to help members keep in touch during the pandemic while sailing is cancelled. 

If you are a volunteer or a supporter of CVSS and you wish to join this group please contact our Secretary. 

One of the original co-founders of CVSS, Harry Codd, sadly died on 10th January 2020 aged 97. His funeral took place at Chilterns Cremetorium in Amersham on 1st February; CVSS was well represented by volunteers paying their respects. 

Our thoughts go to his family and friends. 

Given the current situation, the Trustees have decided to suspend the Season for the foreseeable future.
The Training Days planned for 29 and 30 April, the Open Days on 23 April and 21 May and the Leaders meeting on 18 April are all cancelled.
The Trustees will keep the situation under review and, if it is possible to commence sailing later in the year, we will notify you. The important thing is that everyone stays safe and hopefully we can be sailing before too long.
Mike Marcus - Chairman
