There’s still time to book your table for the TBYC Summer Ball, being held on Saturday 8th June 2013….

Priority booking for members only ends on 17th May – after this date, non-member guests may be invited to attend.

Our dress code for this event is Black Tie & Glitter!  A drinks reception will begin at 6.30pm for 7.30pm dining, followed by dancing to the brilliant band “Glitterball”, with carriages at 1.00am.

A big thank you to Peter Thompson and Mike, Will and Alex Thomason who spent their time this week Jet Washing and Anti fouling the slipway over the last few days.

As those of you who have done this know, it is not a quick or easy job and requires hard work, and they have done this in the recent new found summer heat.

If it wasn’t for the relentless dedication of members like Peter, Mike and Will to maintaining the facilities and high standards at TBYC we would not have such a great facilities.  So next time you see them, show your appreciation of their hard and hot work, and refresh their drinks.

Thanks Guys

Jeremy

Apologies, but due to unforeseen circumstances, the Italian night scheduled for this Saturday has been postponed.

Thank you to everybody who has volunteered so far to help at the TBYC Feva Nationals 2013 , 25th to 28th May.

We are holding an update meeting this Sunday in the club at 5.30pm which we would like all volunteers to attend. The meeting should not last any longer that 45 minutes.

This invitation is also extended to those who plan to help, but haven’t let us know yet. If you are still undecided, remember that you are are likely to find joining in the event a rewarding experience. The success of the event depends on Club members.

Hope to see you there

Martin Swindon

We’ve had an overwhelming response to this event and all tickets are now sold!

Thank you to everyone who has either bought tickets or offered their support –  we would still be happy to hear from anyone who is able to offer help on the day or contribute in any way with raffle prizes etc.

Why not Wear it Pink to really get into the spirit of the day?!
