This youtube clip says it all. A very sad tale - we hope everything works out well for them.

Do Celtic Lakes have a more profitable purpose for the lakes?
 
14 days does seem a bit short notice

Is there anything other than a youtube clip for those of us furtively reading at work, where youtube is banned?
Edit: found the club website
Surely 14 days notice isn't long enough to make sure all members are given notice enough to come and collect their boats? I really hope there's a lawyer or someone able to pay a good lawyer who happens to be on holiday.

Thats incredibly sad, but why are they being evicted?  are the club RYA affiliated?  if so don't he RYA have a legal team to help out in these situations?

presumably the "two weeks to quit" notice hasn't come entirely out of the blue?
Wonder if Celtic Lakes will remove all the pictures from their website that have sailing boats in them?

Having read a lot of the comments on the petition it appears the blame is laid (by some) on one individual who was a member of the club?
Sour grapes perhaps?

"Luxury Waterside Lodges"

I wonder if that might have something to do with it.
Like some other things - sailing is more enjoyable when you do it with someone else

Maybe, but it would be nice to know why they are being evicted.  Must be heartbreaking for the long term members

I am surprised that 14 day's to quit is legal unless there is more in the back ground we don't know about.

That was my view on first reading, maybe lease terms haven't been met, who knows?  However if it is a short sharp 'two weeks and get off' and there's no preliminary communication/eviction protocol, well it seems unethical to me.  I would have thought that with all the planning applications, architects, landscape designers etc there was ample opportunity for more time to be offered to the club to enable them to relocate in a measured manner.
