SAILING club leaders have decided to close their clubhouse in reaction to two members testing positive for coronavirus.

Roa Island Boating Club had planned to close the entire site until further notice after two active members found out they had contracted the virus.

The club has now announced only the clubhouse will be closed. Boat club commodore Steve Almond said on social media: "We will continue to assess the situation and I will post on here as soon as this lockdown can be eased."
