In theory I don't think it's over until council formally turn it down. The committees are just recommendations AIUI. In practice, probably best to listen to the tone of the discussion. It's https://youtu.be/6-jdKDQQkZc, and theLaserClass is just after they take a break about 2:12:30 in.

No positive comments, admission of a lot of prior verbal discussions, not in the public domain, admission of a similar situation, so not a precedent.
Examined membership and stated not one member is actively racing, didnt state, whether this was 'Laser' or any boat, (assuming they meant 'Laser')
Would be interesting to know how many sailors of any class are actually racing, I haven't sailed since March.
TLC, probably jumped the gun, next year would have been better, 12 months of history.

This story has plenty more chapters to go . Lol 
Changing tack . Can I ask why you haven’t sailed since March ? Is it a club or a personal situation that has stopped you sailing.  All of my local clubs have been open since June . My own club has been open since June for social sailing and we have been back racing since the end of of July. True it’s not the same as it was before COVID. Club house is still closed , COVID measures are in place in the toilets and the landing stages and we are sailing one off races not series. But on a personal level , even with these measures in place, I am getting probably 90% of the fun of sailing that I had before and it’s doing wonders for my mental health   Smile

No racing at my club, you have to book an appointment to sail, cruising only, which I don't do, so, let the ones who do, have my slot.

That’s a shame and very unusual. Can I ask what led your club to make this decision? I am assuming you are on the sea and it’s to do with the risks of rescue?

Back to LPE and TLC . Rumor is the LPE factory in Portugal is closed .
If it’s true , is it just because there is no demand or is production going to be outsourced to China which has already happened to most of their other products?

In brief discussion they were also very negative about a number of aspects of the application.

Grumpy cat, no it's a small lake, hence I don't want to cruise.
Nicola jayne, more like the 'Tooting popular front', becoming very 'Dads army'.

That makes it even more confusing why it’s not back racing , even in a limited way.

Grumpy cat, only 35 members, most in at risk group, only one person on duty per session, this is safety boat only, no sailing at all if wind above a certain strength.
