SAVE OUR SAILING CLUB
On the 8th. April our Commodore received a phone call from our local Councillor Phil Edwards informing us that the Assets
Management Group (who have not yet met) has had a recommendation from the County Valuer that they sell over half of our boat
park which the Asset Management Group will have to consider. Our job through Phil Edwards is to persuade the Asset
Management Group not to accept this recommendation. The sale of this land would deprive from the people of Rhos on Sea over
half of our boat park which we have occupied for 50 years. Land which was generously donated for the local people to be used
for leisure by Victor Wilde (click for newspaper article April 1962) pre his death in 1966 at the age of 79. They intend to sell this
land to developers for the purpose of building flats. We cannot survive as a sailing club if the council sell this land.
