RUYC 2020 Golf Championship
Last Fridays golfing outing or to give it its formal title "the RUYC 2020 Golfing Championship” was a spectacular success. Despite a dodgy forecast, the sun came out at "Tee Off" time. Thank you all for taking part and making it such an enjoyable occasion. So many of our Club’s events have had to be cancelled owing to the Coronavirus situation, it was a great relief we were able to go ahead with the competition.

Latest Covid-19 Update from the RYA
Please find below the latest information from RYA Northern Ireland.
"The NI Health Minister last night (19th May) signed the amendment to Coronavirus Restrictions permitting Outdoor Activity from today.
We continue to seek clarification from the Government Approach to Decision Making announcement, specifically with terms of ‘some water activity’. In the absence of any further guidance from Government Departments, our current interpretation is that this does permit all forms of boating activity (sailing, windsurfing, powerboating etc) but only when safely:
- undertaken by individuals or members of the same household;
- there is no sharing of hard surfaces (including all types of boat);
- public health guidance is followed at all times;
- strict social distancing can be undertaken.
