Brunch cooked by members of the General Committee, under the guidance and support of Martin Swindon & Mick Kilkelly, on New Year’s Day.

Mindful waistbands aren’t the only thing tight at this time of year we have reduced ticket prices from last year.

Tickets £7.50 per person (Children £4.50) on sale now behind the bar or from the Office.

We have five sittings for brunch:
11:00 – 11:30am
11:30 – 12:00pm
12:00 – 12:30pm
12:30 – 1:00pm
1:00 – 1:30pm

You’ll need to select your sitting when you buy your tickets. You are welcome to arrive at any time and we would encourage you to stay around afterwards but we will need you to vacate your table at the end of the sitting you have booked – this is so we can accommodate as many people who want to enjoy Brunch – this is a very popular event and a great way to start the New Year.

The brunch is a ticket-only event (the bar is open to all) and places are limited, please buy your tickets as soon as possible to avoid disappointment.

The bar will be open serving Bucks Fizz, Bloody Mary and all your other favourites.

I am delighted to welcome Howard Fruin, a long time member of the club, to the role of Kitchen Manager. Howard joins us from the kitchen at Billy Hundred’s along the seafront and is employed directly by the club. Howard starts work today cleaning and organising the kitchen. The kitchen will remain closed until at least Thursday lunchtime – more details to follow, watch this space.

Working with Howard, we have big plans as to how we can transform the kitchen and the catering experience delivered by the club but please remember Rome wasn’t built in a day.

In preparation for the Christmas Ball the Main Bar will close at 2pm on Saturday 9th December. The Commodore Bar will be open until 4.00pm

Christmas Ball tickets now on sale from the Office –  Catering by Mick Kilkelly

Tickets will be limited – book now to avoid disappointment

Saturday 9th December – Now is the time to get your friends together for the party of the season.

More details to follow – tickets go on sale soon, watch this space.

The time has come for change to the catering provided at TBYC. We are moving away from operating the kitchen under a franchise agreement to a model where we employ and manage the staff in-house. This will offer greater flexibility in terms of menu selection and opening hours.

On behalf of the General Committee and the wider club I would like to say thank you to Dave Dowson for running the kitchen for the last two sailing seasons. Dave will be with us for another two months during which time we will look to hire a catering manager and related staff. We hope to have the new system in place as soon as possible to prevent any break in service.

Nick Cotgrove keeps a pair of oars under his Dart 16 (yellow hulls).  The oars have been borrowed. If you used them, would you return them to Nick’s catamaran, please.

If you need oars, each club tender has a pair.

Unfortunately this weeks Friday Cadet activities will need to be cancelled due to a booking clash at TBYC. It is also the Nore Race Prizegiving with BBQ should you wish to attend Benfleet YC. We will attempt to re schedule at a later date.
Thank you
Jeremy
