Corona Virus and GYC
We're sorry to say that this is impacting on us all including our social events, communal sailing activities and training. As a result, in accordance with goverment guidelines, our clubhouse and bar is now closed until further notice. This includes Tuesday evenings and weekends.
We look forward to being able to welcome you when restrictions have been lifted.
Activities on the River Thames
The River Thames is cleaner and more active that ever.
Look at the PLA coordinated calendar which includes GYC activities to see what is going on.
