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.

After some years of good service and great food Jo has decided to vacate the Kitchen Franchise.

We now need to find a caterer to fill this position, we have had a number of enquiries to date and we would ask any member who may be able to assist in the search, to fully maximise the club’s options, then please contact me.

I would like to take this opportunity to Thank Jo and her team for the dedication and great service they have given to TBYC.

On behalf of the Hurricane 5.9 Association I would like to extend a big thank you to TBYC. This years Nationals was said to be the best ever, this was due to all the hard work done behind the scenes. Thank’s to Jo and the catering staff for feeding us all, many of the sailors mention how good the food was. To Gordon and Lorraine and the lovely bar staff for serving lots of drinks, I believe from Nick Elmore, the bar nearly ran out of beer. To the sailing committee, especially to Chris for sorting out the results every day. To Phil Crawford and his Race officers team, working in extremely hot conditions and setting good courses. Big thanks! Tony Clarke and the guard boat crews for your hard work, especially on the Saturday in windy conditions with lots of capsizes and masts down. To my team of event organisers, Kylie Jenkins, Wayne Miller, Pete Sherwin, Paul Palmer, Chris Hull and Andrew Hannah. Thanks for your help and support.  To all the club flag officers, Pete Thompson our Commodore and Nick Elmore, Vice commodore, thanks for support. To our prize sponsors, Hyde Sails, Spartan, AW sailboats and Towergate Mardon insurances. To the Hurricane 5.9 association committee and entrants, who made this event such good fun. Finally to Little Max Duce, who did a stirling job sorting out all the trollies and helping the sailors on the beach. Cheers Struan Wallace, Hurricane Treasurer.
