We are pleased to report that the Men’s showers are now in operation, although I did not take part members reported the showers provided lots of Hot Water and were a great success.

Roy Shipton died suddenly at home on Saturday 29 March. He will be sadly missed by his brother Brian, sister-in-law Barbara and his many friends. Roy was for many years Secretary at TBYC as well as Interclub and a very active member of the Cruising Section.

The funeral will be at Southend Crematorium on Monday 28 April at 3.20 and afterwards at TBYC. No flowers but donations to Thorpe Bay Yacht Club slipway fund or Fairhavens.

New TBYC Website

As you will have noticed the website we have got used to over the last few years has disappeared and been replaced with this new super smart version. Martyn and his team at Flightline have been developing this site over the last few months and today decided it was time to go live. As with all these things there is still a fair amount of work still to do, so please bear with us while we get it up to speed.

What you can do immediately is to register yourself on the new site, which will allow you to submit artices in a similar way to the old site with the addition of several features including easily adding links and pictures to your article. You must use your correct name when submitting an article otherwise it will be rejected.

I am sure there will be plenty more instructions about the site over the next few weeks so keep an eye on it to keep yourself up to speed.

Once again thanks to Martyn and the guys at Flightline.

Gordon Sanders.
