6 HOUSE REPORT
Restoration works have been extensive, including a major new electrical system,
and new Washroom fittings and finishes.
The Washrooms have now been refitted and finished and there is new flooring and signage, including a magnificent glass stair partition emblazoned with the RSYC Crest. Some further redecoration is required to the ground
floor as the building continues to dry out. This unexpected opportunity for modernisation will provide us with a Clubhouse to be proud of for the future.
The staff at Gins have been magnificent dealing with the disruption. In particular, they will have functioned for 5 months with no lift! All supplies have been carried up the stairs – a
major extra task for them! A huge thank you for the manner in which the staff have kept smiling through what has been an incredibly difficult period.
Richard Colgrave and I took the younger members of the Gins’ staff on a day’s outing to Cowes on two yachts – which included sailing and lunch at the Island Sailing Club
