Clubhouse Keys

Hi Members

It was decided at the last club monthly meeting, June 4th, to update and replace all clubhouse keys. This is taking place due to the need for increased security around the clubhouse. A lot of money has been spent in the recent past and in order to protect that investment all keys will be replaced.

There has been a large number of keys given out to members over the last 5 years and unfortunately there is no complete record of who has keys and who has not. Pauric Hynes is collecting all current keys and new keys will be issued over the next few weeks.

Keys are available from Pauric Hynes. Each key will cost 15 euros and are only available to Fully paid up full members of Club diver level or above. If a member leaves the club or their membership lapses for longer than a season then the key must be returned, the 15 euro fee will be refunded.

Thanks

Clubhouse Barrier

Hi Folks

The use of the clubhouse barrier has again become a matter of concern in recent times. It has been repeatedly left open by members which is allowing non-members to access the clubhouse. It has caused the slipway to be blocked up by non-members and non-members cars parked on the clubhouse grounds.

So please, if you are entering the clubhouse, even for just a few minutes, then close the barrier down behind you. If you are last out of the clubhouse then close and lock the barrier as you leave. Hopefully we can eliminate the amount of non-members using the clubhouse as a carpark and blocking up the slipway.

Thanks

Dive Gear for sale

Hi there
I have some diving gear I purchased 5 or 6 years ago and never used, so I've decided to sell it to someone who will. Some was new and some I bought secondhand. Photos available from Cian or at the email address below. I am almost 6 foot so thats the size the wet suit fits, its 6.5mm thick, there's also a 4mm wet suit. The regulator, knife, mask, snorkel and torch were never used, still in their original boxes.

I think I paid over 1000 when I got this stuff, for the lot but I'm hoping for 350. Let me know if anyone is interested. I live in Mullingar.

All the best
Gerry
