We have been made aware of people swimming in our lake the last two evenings again. This is not only highly dangerous but they are also leaving litter. As a member of the sailing club please do ask people to leave and that swimming is not allowed. If at any point you face intimidation or receive abuse, don't hesitate to call the police on 101. Please keep us informed if you have to do either of these things. Thanks a lot for your help.

New BGA sample results taken on the 13th Feb 22. We seem to be pretty static at the moment, which it makes it even more important for us to keep trying to get more barley straw in the water. If anyone can help next weekend (26th Feb), you would be very welcome!

The general committee want to thank everyone who took the time to complete the recent membership survey and thank you to our junior members who designed it. The results were really useful and important to us and today we met to identify 5 key themes which we will look to address. These key areas are:

We are now testing fortnightly after guidance from the Environment Agency. This will hopefully show a bigger difference on each report. Both samples still contain the blue green oscillatoria sp. but the counts had gone down again slightly.

No real change in blue green Oscillatoria sp. this last week. Open water showed 418,250 cells/ml and the jetty sample showed 372,750 cells/ml. Both samples showed a low abundance of unicellular green algae and had a low to moderate abundance of diatoms, as per last week.
