This week marks the second anniversary of the launch of Greg
Lockhurst
I’m delighted to report that both boats are in excellent condition and
being used extensively in the last three months we’ve had more than
60 sorties on the loch. We have attended the Broughty and Perth
Regatta, Monster the Loch on loch Ness the Tummel sprints where
we received a number of medals, we have Held our Skiffy regatta our
skiffs have been rowed all over Scotland including Caterline,
Montrose Broughty Ferry and North Berwick.
We intend to participate in the world championships in 2025 in
Stranraer
We now have more than 60 paid up members and are still getting
new members are still joining us.
The community side of the Skiff is very active including a wild water
swimming group.
We have had a Dementia group, Scouts, Forfar Tangent, Options in
life, and are about to get a Probus group coming to use the skiffs 
Before the next Rotary council meeting, we intend to put a document
in front of Rotary to look at the future ownership and responsibility for
this Skiffs. The original document was not signed.
Scottish environmental Heritage have stopped us with our original
plans for the new boat Storage shed, not allowing us to build on their
site. We have now got agreement with Angus council to extend the
area of our lease to allow us to build the new Skiff store outside the
HES site. It is presently awaiting AC action for a second set of public
consultation which is not expected to cause a problem when this is
complete.
In the meantime, the two skiffs are being kept on good waterproof
covers and being maintained appropriately.

(As you might have seen there are discussions with the council and grants have been put forward to build a new shed. This is still not completed and discussions to make this happen are still ongoing. We will inform all members as soon as we have a final outcome)
