COVID-19 Update - 26th March 2020
Following the more stringent government directive this week, members should not be working on their boats in the AYC yard. Travelling to the yard should be considered an unnecessary journey.

Clubhouse Refurbishment
With most of the scaffolding down you can now see how the clubhouse is developing. Although the new roof makes the clubhouse look much bigger, the footprint has not been increased dramatically, but the inside space should be much more useable. Volunteer working parties will be organised in the next couple of weeks to help with decorating & fitting out. Let us know if you are available to help info@axeyachtclub.co.uk (weekdays or weekends).

We are delighted to announce that Axe Vale Festival have awarded us a grant of £1000 from the profits of the 2019 Axe Vale Show.
