Morning Everyone

If you have booked a table for the Valentines Dinner please can you pre order with Jo asap. her mobile number is 07500878249

Also if anyone has any suitable  music they could lend me for the night please can you bring it with you! Much Appreciate!!

as you may have seen a section of the wooden toe rail/side runner has been removed midway down the slipway. This is to give a better indication of how the wooden rails change the wave motion/water run off. if you happen to be passing the slipway at a time before high tide then your observations would be helpful. It is getting a bit windier this week coupled with high lunch/afternoon tides.
thanks

Found today (Sunday 31st) lying in the grass car park. Two pieces of carbon tube joined by a flexible coupling – possibly a tiller extension? Have placed in club foyer.

…to Paul Spratt and Barry Duce who spent a lot of time and effort using their talents to make a great start on the Committee Boat refurbishment. She is already starting to look more ship shape. Also thank you to Gordon Sanders and Tony Clarke who have cleaned out both displacements ready for painting and antifouling.

You can now download Newsbuoy from the link at the top of this page, you can forward it to those friends who may be in other parts of the world for them to keep tabs on TBYC.

Following the construction of our new slipway i have set up a Sub Committee of Myself, Nick Elmore, Chris Boshier, Mike Thomason, Domonic Speller and Robin Foster-Taylor to address the usability issues. I will be looking to implement improvements at the earliest opportunity.

Peter

Hope you all enjoyed the New Look Newsbuoy, we just need to thank Barry Duce for Co-ordinating its production and all the contributing committee and members who worked at very short notice on some very informative articles and pictures. Obviously it cost a little more cash than before, hopefully it was an enjoyable read and brings us a little more up to date.
Lyndon Nutkins designed and collated the first edition and i would like to thank him for burning the midnight oil for only a very reasonable reward.
Subscription Renewals are coming in at a very fast pace and i thank you all for making this easier on the Office by being so prompt. The 2010 Programme has gone to print and we should be posting this out with 2010 car park stickers mid January. Any Renewal queries please email

Enjoy the Snow
