Duncan Lawson, the Commodore of Weir Wood SC, is asking for support, and to raise awareness of legal issues that other sailing clubs could come up against. He writes:
In brief, two years ago, our reservoir was taken over by a new landlord. The landlord has made it very clear that our sailing club is not part of the development plans for the site, despite us having over 40 years left on our lease. Over the last 18 months we have been subjected to intimidation and unfounded legal proceedings have been initiated against us.
