Many thanks to all of those who turned up on saturday for the work party, we manged to get a huge amount done, so many names to mention ( including Bertie who I think is still locked in the new cuoboard) but you know who you are, although a special mention to Sam Husk, Paul Spratt and John payne for heading up various sections and making the day run so well.
we are so lucky to have such a wealth of gifted talent to call upon in our club.
Looking forward to the good weather and a fun summer of sailing.
Thank you all again

Thanks to all 72 fellow sandhopper sailors for a great lift in supper, together with our friends from maylandsea bay we raised £325 for Essex air ambulance which David will take to them today as a token of our fund raising efforts for them this year.

Icicle Series  – Change to published Sailing Instructions 

In accordance with Rule 3 & 5 Changes to Sailing Instructions  / schedule of races 

Please be advised that Icicle 5 on Sunday 20^th March will remain at the previously published start time of 11:00hrs. 

A second race on Sunday 20th March will then commence as soon as practical after conclusion of Icicle 5. 

This is by popular demand to replace Icicle 2 which was not sailed due to unsuitable weather conditions. 

2011 Sailing Committee

I am pleased to report that we have now secured the services of Gary Watty of Purple Chilli Catering to take on the kitchen franchise. Gary comes to us with good experience of Yacht Club Catering and we are confident he will be an asset to TBYC.

Gary will be taking over officially from 1st April and for any bookings please call Gary on 07854 229939.

Jo has kindly agreed to stay on to help with the handover to Purple Chilli Catering and our thanks go to her for going the ‘extra mile’ for our club. Well done Jo.

As with all new enterprise, it needs support. Please come down to the club and meet Gary whilst trying the new food experience.

a very big thankyou to Mark Petty-Mayor for an excellent evening covering CPR and defibrillator emergency response training.
we are very lucky to have had a defibrillator very generously donated to TBYC by Team Palmer which is positioned on the wall next to the main bar. This is a very easy to use piece of equipment which along with CPR can really help save someones life.

Mark Petty-Mayor is a natural leader and teacher and we are so very lucky to have such members who are able to donate their time and expertise so generously.

Mark offers all the first aid and emergency response courses through his company to organisations big and small and it would be great if your workplace requires these courses you could contact Mark.
