Dear Friends,
As you may remember, Gary FitzGerald sadly passed away in February this year and, due to Covid restrictions, unfortunately no wake could be held.
Jill, Toby & Olivia would therefore very much like you to join them to raise a toast to Gary on what would have been his 68th Birthday.
They will be hosting drinks and canapes at Thorpe Hall Golf Club from 1pm on Friday 30th July.
Love,
Toby x

Thank you to all of you that supported and participated in the TBYC Sandhopper Open Evening Event.
I’m pleased to report that it was a great success with many new people getting out and managing to enjoy a Sandhopper for the first time. We hope to run another session later in the season, if this is of interest to you please let me know so I can get an idea of numbers.
Thanks again and happy sailing to you all.

Ladies That Launch enjoyed a fab sail on Sunday in the breeze. It was lovely to see new ladies coming to sail and socialise together, some completely new to sailing. Thank you to you all for making this a very enjoyable morning on the beach and on the water.
Even if you don’t fancy a sail, do come down when we next meet to enjoy a catch up on the beach watching our exploits on the water. We are still waiting for some lovely warm sunny weather to enjoy these sessions in style!
I am speaking to class captains to arrange access to some different boats and hope to enable a blast on the Hurricanes soon; several ladies will also enjoy a ‘Sandhopper taster’ this coming Friday. Of course we are also planning a cruiser outing, which I am sure will be accompanied with a social G&T!
We also chatted about arranging a paddle board outing to Paper Mill Lock maybe next month or in the school holidays, children welcome too. I’ll publish details soon, this will be a lovely relaxed social outing together with a picnic.
Our next social evening is planned for Thursday 15th July in the main club bar, do
come along.
If you wish to be added to the Whatsapp chat please let me know.
