  The ROYAL CINQUE PORTS YACHT CLUB has been given 12 months notice to vacate premises by DHB!

  Surprised they lasted this long to be honest. They almost got booted out in 2021 when they failed to pay the rent.

  The problem was that the rent rose astronomically when the bean counters took over at DHB and decided that the function of a Trust Port was to squeeze as much money out of everyone as possible.
  
  In comparison RTYC at Ramsgate bought out their freehold years ago and are sitting pretty.

  That would be a great shame .RCPC has been a feature of Dover for years.Maybe we should rename Dover .Money is the root of all evil...Whilst Deal,and Sandwich thrive Dover struggles.

  The state of the Building, in fact, the whole building, which has been partially covered in scaffolding for years.....Is in a shocking condition.
  
  Just an observation.....you never see any yacht's in the Harbour anymore....
