There are some road trailers left at the back of the clubhouse which need to be removed by the owners. All trailers need to be stored either under the boat in the dinghy park or off site. Will the people responsible please remove them.
Thanks

Just a quick note to thank all who have helped me over the last 5 years,without your help the club wouldnt be in the position we find it now.
We have 80 boats entered in the winter series,we have had Cadets winning National championships,we have held National Championships and various open meetings,new mens showers with new ladies showers on the way and a new slipway being built during 2009,we also have training schemes in place that other clubs would love to have, and as long as we keep up this momentum TBYC will continue to flourish and grow into what could be considered one of the best yacht clubs in the country.
Have a great Christmas and a happy New year.

I didn’t realise the RNLI had to pay £48,000 for the privilege of
using marine VHF. Disgusting I call it.
For info/action. Please forward to anyone you think might help by
signing the petition.”

force-lifeboat- stations- to-close. html
The background:
RADIOS BILL MAY SCUPPER RNLI
LIFEBOAT crews fear being scuppered by crippling new charges for
using their radios from Ofcom, the communications regulator. The RNLI
could see the price of using its VHF emergency frequencies rise to
£250,000 under plans to charge the full commercial rate.
The charity, which saves hundreds of lives every year currently pays
an annual £48,000 at a discounted rate of 50 per cent. It relies on
donations and fears the move will have a disastrous impact on
fundraising. Peter Bradley, RNLI operations staff officer,
said: ‘It’s a lot of money when you think in terms of lifeboat days
and little old ladies collecting pound coins.’
‘We could buy several inshore lifeboats for the same amount.’
‘The Government rely on us to provide this search-and-rescue service,
at a cost of £124 million a year, but they want to charge us for
doing it!’
Ofcom has set out plans to bring ‘market forces’ into maritime and
civil aviation communications in a policy it calls Administered
Incentive Pricing.
£250,000 represents an awful lot of charity collections, even more so
in the current economic climate so, if like me you feel strongly
enough about this, please sign the petition below.

Greenpeace flagship Rainbow Warrior was spotted moored at southend pier this saturday, 7 Sandhoppers set off from TBYC to represent the club and handed them a TBYC flag which they immediately hoisted and is flying proudly from their mid mast, you never know we may get the flag on the TV as a camera crew was filming at the time, many thanks to those who took part.

It seems to have slipped eveyones attention that Allen Burrell has yet again won the UK Finn Masters.
It only came to light in a totally unrelated conversation in the dinghy park at the weekend, when he quietly mentioned he had collected another national tittle in his travels.
Congratulations Allen, and in future, please dont keep this sort of information to yourself.
Gordon Sanders.
