LDYC Flooding 2020

Due to the rain over the past few weeks and months - Lough Derg's level has seen a significant increase in its level.

While we have sent out notices to the members via email we still recommend anyone who has not checked-on and moved their boat (lake boat, cruiser or dinghy) do so as soon as possible.

Any queries contact our Club Manager when you are on the grounds in the Office.

Sign-Up to the  the Work Day for 28th March and we will join together for a clean up where needed.
