Other Charges
Camping Plot Weekend Week
£5 £10
Camping plots are to be booked in advance because space is very limited and early booking with the caravan convenor is highly recommended to avoid disappointment. Tom Taylor can be contacted via the committee email committee@lochearnsc.com. When Tom is away working, the Secretary will follow up on the request from the same email contact.
Minimum spacing between camping plots & caravans shall be 6m so campers are required to manage this requirement respectfully because space is limited.

Members Duties
As we are a “Members” Club and do NOT employ any paid staff, it is up to the individual member to contribute to the overall running of the Club.
As a sailing and racing club, we require those participating to fulfil some “Race Duties” during the season to ensure we are all able to race.
We try to meet your specific needs by allocating you to duties and days when you are likely to be available.
Regular racing sailors should anticipate undertaking THREE duties per season with casual/ leisure sailors undertaking TWO duties such as OOD, Assistant-Flags, Rescue Boat Driver, Rescue Boat Assist etc
