An annual inspection, typically October, is requred to identify any work necessary to be completed over the winter months and prior to the bird nesting season. Importantly this is also part of taking responsibility to avoid any damage to members property even though property is left at the owners risk.
Please refer to the Committee's Google Drive / Critical Documents / Estate Dam and Lake Management folder that contains:
Boatpark Tree Survey from 2020, and
A folder of 11 pages has been scanned as: Boatpark Tree Information (2023/24). The original pages are held in the Black Folder on the filing cabinets in the Clubhouse Loft
The latter contains:
two lists from 27/02/24 & 05/03/24 but not all trees have been 'ticked' off
lists from Jan/ Feb 2023

It would appear that Simon Tester of Tester Tree Surgeons undertook the work done in 2024.

Surrey County Council may allow vehicle and/or pedestrian signs to defined tourist destinations or leisure facilities where traffic management and safety benefits can be demonstrated. Signs will not be provided where the primary purpose is to advertise the destination.
Tourist destinations
TSRGD 2016 defines a “tourist destination” as a permanently established attraction or facility (other than a leisure facility) which:
a) attracts or is used by visitors to an area;
b) is open to the public without prior booking during its normal opening hours, and;
c) is recognised as a tourist attraction or facility by the appropriate national promoter of tourism which for Surrey is Visit England.
To be eligible for a new sign, all 3 of the above criteria need to apply.

If we are looking for one or more quotes:
Ei (Enhanced Images) might be worth asking for a quote as they are just behind the Shell Garage on A264 almost opposite the Club's entrance. No prior knowledge of this company but they are so close they might consider partnering.

The Environment Agency (EA) visited the lake on 20th June 2024 to assess whether or not Hedgecourt lake would be suitable to be included in the Lake Surveillance Network (LSN). They concluded that it would. This means that they will sample the lake once every 5 years, starting next year (2025). Every year that the lake is sampled, they will:
take water samples
look at algae
look at plants and habitats during the summer, and
in winter, take fish eDNA samples.
The water quality data they collect will be publicly available:
(Open WIMS data) https://environment.data.gov.uk/water-quality/view/explore
Search ‘Hedgecourt Lake’ in the ‘Sampling Point Name’ bar and clicking on the sampling point.
Water quality samples have previously been taken at this location, so there is historic data available to look at.
They plan to launch their boat and take samples from the Mill Lane bank, and should not need to use the club’s facilities. They confirmed that, to avoid demonstrating public access to the lake, their officers will be in uniform and using badged vehicles so they will be easily recognisable as EA staff.
