With outdoor covered seating now a prized facility for most clubs, Howth Yacht Club in North County Dublin commissioned its new and long-awaited pergola in time for the Christmas festivities.
In keeping with current trends, HYC is now offering a coffee or a cold drink, scones and paninis in a safe environment and the club is encouraging members to try the outdoor pergola newly installed on its deck.
The facility is now fully functional and the club has named the outdoor structure ‘The Light House’ in reference to there being so much light inside during the day and coming from it after dark, the view it has of the light at the end of the East Pier and the nature of the building’s construction.
Increasingly, the cub is finding members are stopping off at the club for refreshments in this new 'outdoor room' that provides much-needed shelter with heating but at the same time much needed ventilation as a beneficial covid measure.
