Hi ,I am looking to put together a sub committee to help organise with the redecoration and modernisation of the bar areas. This will not involve any painting yourselves but any fresh ideas to update our fantastic club . Please let me know if you are interested.

We have been donated a complimentary ticket for the last day of the Boat Show. If you would like it then please contact me on 07741 201052 and we can arrange collection. First come, first served.

Just a reminder to the sandhopper fleet that we have our AGM for the class on Saturday at 11.00 in the commodores bar and the TBYC AGM at 10.00 on Sunday

Although the 2014 main season is over, it is this time of year when your Class Captains and the Sailing Committee start to work hard behind the scenes putting next years programme together.  The Dinghy AGM is your chance to help by telling us what aspects of the 2014 programme you enjoyed this year and sharing any good ideas you think we could incorporate into next years Sailing Programme.

Have you got some ideas, do you want to help? Then we have a vacancy on the Sailing Committee for Sailing Secretary, let me know if you are interested.

This years Dinghy AGM will be held on Wednesday 12th November 2014 at 20:00 in the Commodores Bar.

We hope to see you there.

Jeremy Sandford and the 2014 Sailing Committee.

The boys and girls in the RS Feva fleet exceeded expectations by beating Eton College 5 – 0 in a Team Race at Bray Lake near Windsor on Saturday. In bright sunshine and with 10 to 13 mph winds, they practised their Team racing skill’s in the school’s Fireflies during the morning, ready to race the Eton boys after lunch. On this occasion, we were slightly older than the opposition and this lifted the team’s confidence. The starts were tight, with everyone on the line in a rising wind. By the first mark we managed a leading combination in most races, however this needed to be maintained on the forthcoming reaches and run.  TBYC were not going to be beating at this stage and with some cunning Team Racing moves, succeeded to win the match.  A great day was had by all and was concluded with afternoon tea and a thank-you speech made by Sam L.  Well done to the Squad!

We can’t tell you what sort of phone it is, however a group of people earlier were on the front green (east side) of the dinghy park and could hear a phone ringing, but couldn’t find it. So if you was around that area and you have lost one then it is worth going down and having a look. Assuming the battery is not flat then you could phone it once there, in the dark, to get the screen to glow, making it easier to find.

Just a reminder that Cruisers and Sandhoppers are coming out of the water this weekend and therefore all boats that have not entered the Winter Series or submitted Pico Storage forms should be removed before then (Friday is the latest).

All the forms are available from http://www.tbyc.org/racing/winter-sailing-and-storage-2014/ .

If you have any other valid reasons for not removing your boat please advise [email protected] immediately.

You should have received your printed copy of Newsbuoy Autumn 2014. But if you haven’t it is also available here online.
