This Fairways Committee manages most of the moorings on the river Deben from Methersgate Quay to the Tide Mill. It holds a lease from the Crown Estate and provides annual licences specifying a site where individuals can lay their own mooring to secure their boat. The committee is responsible for allocating sites in such a way as to allow safe navigation of the river and to buoy that fairway appropriately. Having recently taken over the area previously managed by the Knoll Fairway Committee, it now manages nearly 200 moorings and is responsible for 13 navigation buoys.
The entire operation is run by volunteers and they report annually to an Annual Public Meeting. The next Annual Public Meeting will be held April 2025 at the Woodbridge Cruising Club River Wall, Woodbridge. The 2024 minutes can be viewed below.
