Pond Liner Safety

If you see someone standing or walking on the liner, please courteously inform them that they are at risk of falling into the pond and that they should only walk or stand on the grass.

Failed Boat Retrieval

If your boat fails on the pond, do not attempt to retrieve it by going into the pond. Instead, be patient - it will eventually drift to the side. Where possible, recover it with a small fishing rod or other reaching tool.

For detailed procedures on retrieving sunken boats safely, please read our Sunken Boat Retrieval Procedure.

If Someone Falls Into the Pond

• There are 2 lifebelts on either side of the pond
• The whole pond liner is EXTREMELY SLIPPY - take great care when trying to help

Easiest Escape Areas

• Guide to the RED BUOY where there are sandbags to climb onto
• Or to the north end, where the launch area is a straight drop

Incident Reporting

Please make a note of any incident and pass it on to a Committee member as soon as possible. Incident forms are available at the storage facility.
