Stella faces a very real problem with the traffic in Bayhead Road and although the problem is noticeably reduced compared to last year - the damage has been done in terms of keeping members away from the dice on Tuesday nights.

In addition, many visiting paddlers are now paddling up from Wilson's wharf, participating in the dice and then paddling back without supporting the Stella bar at all. We're almost at the point of deciding that it's not worth the trouble for teh committee to run the dice or bar at all if the club sees no benefit.

This is an appeal to members to come up with some innovative ideas to rectify the situation.
