BACKGROUND INFORMATION
In or around July 2004, Pembrokeshire County Council (PCC) closed the slipway and prohibited all access, even for the launch and recovery of all watercraft.
A number of incidents had occurred involving Personal Water Craft (Jet-skis) and swimmers. Jet-ski users are known to operate in shallower waters as they share use of the craft and jump waves.
After many months of negotiations, PCC agreed to open the slipway subject to various conditions:-
-We established a club/association
-The club/association became properly constituted
-Access was restricted to members
-Members paid an annual membership fee
-Members held motor insurance for the towing vehicle and were able to produce a motor insurance certificate
-Members held liability insurance for the watercraft.
-The use of Jet-skis was prohibited.
PCC provided the association with suitable articles and during the first meeting held at the Amroth Arms, these were adopted together with the rules of operation under the strict supervision of PCC.
