AS readers may by now be aware, planning consent has been granted for the construction of new operating premises at Weir Quay for both the gig and sailing clubs.

Through your pages I would like to thank the Editor for even handed coverage of this sensitive matter, those who supported the application, and especially those whose vision and hard work have got us this far.

We look forward to working with all Weir Quay interest groups when in due course work in the new site starts.
