Dear Members
We have had over 100 entries for the Winter Sailing and Storage. We are passed the deadline to secure a slot but will of course take entries. However, these will now be on a discretionary basis and a space will not be guaranteed.
ALL OTHER DINGHIES must vacate the dinghy park by the 10th October – just over 2 weeks from now. If no entry for storage is in place before then, it will be assumed that you will be taking your boat home on or before this date.
There are many boats in the dinghy park that have not been touched for years. If owners don’t come forward and they are unidentifiable (which the club rules require) they may be disposed of. Please don’t be that owner who does nothing and leaves it to others to move!
Thank you for your help with this.
Regards
Howard

Volunteers needed…. Cadet Halloween party 30th October…

You would need to decorate the main bar and then take down and pack up at the end (we have some decorations)
Arrange sweets/snacks for trick and treat buckets
Welcome the disco
Be around throughout the party
I will arrange disco and ticket sales
If no one volunteers by Sunday the event will be cancelled. Please contact me for further information.
Thanks in anticipation

This Saturday is Barts Bash for all sailors starting at 13.30. There will be a separate start for Cadets similar to the highly successful Rebellious Bowl, 3 minutes after the main fleet.
I encourage those Cadets who can sail a full course unaided to participate.
I will give an optional briefing at 12.45 outside the Sail Training Room and ensure everyone is happy with the course and starts etc.

Dear Members
Again we find ourselves very tight on space in the dinghy park. We are approaching the Winter Storage issue and what we do with all the boats! The Sailing Committee have agreed a similar approach to last year.
We may be unable to accommodate all dinghies wishing to sail or be stored at the club over the Winter. With over 200 dinghies, Cruisers and Sandhoppers there just isn’t room.
There will be storage only for some Lasers and Piccos but this will be on the racks and offered on a first come first served basis. There will be limited storage for other classes elsewhere.
Application forms need to be with the Club Secretary before the 17th September so that a plan can be made before lift out. Any late payments (if accepted at all) will incur a £20 surcharge.
There are a great number of unloved and unsailed boats in the dinghy park. We would encourage these members to seriously consider removing these boats or disposing of them if not sailed. We are first and foremost, a sailing club and priority of storage will be given to those who can demonstrate regular use of their craft over previous winters

Cadet Sailing for our ‘slightly’ more experienced Cadets, more details to follow.Sep 04 2021
It is with sadness I announce that one of the club trustee’s Ann Mckinlay passed away peacefully at her care home on Friday 3rd September.
Ann a life member had been active at the club since 1951 until the last few years. Many members have fond memories of her keeping the Race Officer in check on the old red committee boat.
On behalf of the club I send our sincere condolences to Ann’s family
