Sunday Pre Season Warm-up is ON

Sailing will go ahead this Sunday based on information received from the Environment Agency and the LCC Parks Department.

Due to concerns over the quality of the water due to a number of fish dying, there were some questions about whether or not the Pre Season Warm-up on Sunday was on.

The Environmental Agency have tested the water and issued the results to LCC Parks Department. They haven’t been able to determine a cause for the fish dying. The Parks Department have confirmed the results received are in line with the water testing that has been carried out over the last 24 months.

Therefore it is OK to sail following the standard guidelines of:

1. Thoroughly wash hands directly after completing activities in the water.
2. All cuts to be covered by waterproof plasters.
3. Avoid gulping water down if you become immersed in the tarn.
4. Do not contemplate water based activities if unwell or still recuperating from an illness.
