Hi All as there is no sailing on Monday we are going to do an impromptu mulberry day. We will take the committee boat and ribs along with my rib and toys out early morning to the mulberry and set up on the bank to have fun!!!

Then come back in with the late afternoon early evening tide

Due to changes in the numbers of Cadet in Stingrays, We have needed to revise the teams. The revised teams will he posted at the YC before registration this afternoon.

This year Stingrays is as popular as ever but is relatively young and inexperienced so we have worked really hard to make the teams as balanced in average age and experience as possible. Thank you for your support with this as we move towards another fantastic week on water and the beach.

Please find the Cadet Week volunteer rotas posted on the Cadet board in the club. Janet will also be emailing copies out to entrants today. Adults may swap duties other than support boat by mutual agreement and ensure the swap is written on the master copy posted on the board. Thank you for volunteering, the week only happens because we help in one way or another. All other queries to me please.
Looking forward to another great week, please check Facebook for Lindsay’s kit list and make sure you are ready, see you all at registration on Sunday.

We must cancel the Stage 1 Sail Training this weekend at TBYC due to insufficient instructors being available to run the training safely.

It is a busy time of year and our normal helpers are away at other events and we have not been able to find replacements.

We apologise for this short notice but we did not want to cancel until the last reasonable moment.

This training will be rescheduled at a later date.

The RNLI Pursuit Race is this Sunday 14th July. Start times are as listed below and posted on the club noticeboard along with Supplementary SI’s.
