Parent and Cadet 2016 Season Briefing

This Friday at 6-7pm we are going to hold a short briefing for Parents and Cadets.  We will go through opportunities for new members, Friday Cadet night, training, club boats, Pico racing and Cadet club racing. You will get a chance to put names to faces and meet those people who have volunteered to run this year’s events.  Cadets will get an introduction to cadet night from older Cadets, be taught what and where they can play, and most importantly get a chance to meet and socialise with the other cadets. I hope to see you there and aim to give you the confidence to get involved and help make this year an enjoyable and rewarding one for the TBYC Cadets.

Food

Our caterer Dave will be providing burgers, hot dogs and chips so why not get a quick bite to eat this Friday.

CADET Racing

This weekend sees the start of the 2016 racing season for Adults and Cadets.  This year, every club series race will also be a cadet race.  All participating cadets will start from the Committee Boat on the second start and race a windward-leeward course, first beating to the Inflatable Cadet Buoy, then running down to the leeward mark (last course number on the back of the Committee Boat).  You will continue to lap until hooted by the race officer team.  Remember to sign on as a CADET in the Bosuns hut.
