Hi

If you won something for the 2011 Icicle series this year and wondered when the prizegiving was going to be rescheduled, we have the answer for you.

Its going to happen straight after the TBYC regatta prize giving on the Sunday 18th, so if you won something, stay around.

Thanks, Simon.

Hi

With the regatta in approx 10 days and with quite a few visitors promising to come, it should be a packed and exciting weekend. The race course is going to be rather crammed.

We would like around 6 members to ‘volunteer’ themselves to be available for any protest meetings should they arise. As per the sailing instructions, protests should be lodged within 60 minutes and we would plan to hold any hearings straight after.

Also anybody to be able to assist on the committee boat to help with recording, will be gratefully received.

Please click on the response below if you can help. Many thanks.

With the TBYC Regatta only two weekends away there is still time to pre-purchase your regatta party tickets from behind the bar.

At a bargain price of £6 for adults and £4 for children with music from James Christian this is one party not to be missed.

Hi, for saturday 18th june (TBYC Regatta), we need a helm & crew for one of the displacement boats. There are 3 races planned for the day so bring plenty sun cream.
Please either drop me a line or click on the response.
thanks

Hi All,

    This weekend we have a mini series of races.

Many, many thanks to all who helped when Jisme lost her moorings today. It was all over by the time we got to the shore, but I gather we owe thanks to Alex Gibson, Peter Thompson, Tony Clarke, the Eyre family and probably others. The milky bars are on me next time you’re in!  Very proud of our club.

You can now download Newsbuoy Edition (April 2011) click on the image, you can forward it to those friends who may be in other parts of the world for them to keep tabs on TBYC.

Huge congratulations to Miles and Mason Burrage sailing their 49er Big Bear to victory today in the Hobday Anniversary Trophy.
these two guys have impressed us all with the dedication to diet and fitness that has enabled them to master the skills at the highest technical & team sailing level which is the Olympic 49er.
I think it is now time to take your father Terry for a spin round the bay!
great sailing guys,

Peter
