On Monday 23 and Tuesday 24 March some essential maintenance and plumbing upgrade works are taking place at the boat house.
During these two days facilities will be restricted, as follows:
no access to the men’s toilets
no access to the women’s showers and limited access to the changing rooms.
For the duration the women’s toilets will be unisex - there will be signage in place.
The contractors expect to finish by 5pm on Tuesday 24, however I will confirm once complete.
Thanks for your support and understanding.
