ELYC now have a new tractor. This was part funded by North Berwick Trust and the pictures show Rev Neil Dougall, Chair of the North Berwick Trust.

Alastair Macintyre, Secretary of ELYC said:-

'We are delighted to acknowledge support from NB Trust to enable us to purchase a new tractor which will aid safer launching and recovery of all boats including rescue craft. This is crucial in our weekly activities and of course our ability to host national events such as the Toppers, which makes such an economic impact on the local area'

As many of you will have noticed, our clubhouse roof is leaking, with tubs in the café and buckets in the attic, it’s clear that it now needs to be replaced to protect our much-loved clubhouse for the future.

The good news is that work is underway. Planning permission has been granted, and the project is expected to cost around £50,000. We’ve already secured a £5,000 grant from the North Berwick Trust, are applying for more funding, and will carefully use club reserves while keeping the club financially secure.

Fundraising will play an important part, and we’re keen to make this a fun and engaging process for everyone. Our target for this year, 2026, is £5,000. There are lots of ways to get involved
