With the end of season fast approaching, its time to dig out your winter steamer, bobble hat and boots and enter the Winter Series!
This can be completed using TBYC Membermojo, and selecting your appropriate boat category.
If you are not Winter sailing, storage can be paid for in the same way.
Sailing instructions will be posted on the website, socials and Club notice board next week.

Please note that participation in the Winter and Icicle Series is conditional upon each crew completing one assigned duty during the Winter or Icicle series. Mark Robinson will be coordinating the Winter duties over the next few weeks.

All those taking a winter duty (sailing or non sailing) will receive a £5.50 bar voucher on the day from the Duty Officer upon completion of their duty.
