LONELY HEART SS3 REQ HELM & CREW SAT 16TH JULY….ST 11:30
Not looking forwards to that DIY job planned for this saturday?
The ironing pile is so tall, it keeps falling over?
Your wetsuit is still ripe from the weekend before?
You can’t close the lid on the linen basket, the kids have just emptied out the fridge within a day and the trip to the supermarket is looming?
Well do not dispair, we have the solution. SS3 needs a helm & crew for this saturday points 4, start time is 11:30. So leave that paint brush at home, prop the ironing pile in a corner, let wetsuit dry in bag for next weekend, close toilet door to hide linen basket, send your kids to their friends and order the food online. Simple.
Now all don’t rush at once, first come first served. Please click on link below and see you saturday.
Thanks

TBYC 2011 Regatta – A Massive Thank You
A massive thank-you to the TBYC 2011 Regatta Race Officers Alan & Sally Willis and Howard Hawkes who coped with calm professionalism with everything the weather could possibly throw at them this weekend.
Thanks to all the members that supported in the many functions such as Beachmaster, Pico Race Officers, safety boat crews, race recorders, registration, BBQ ticket promotors and the team that spent both days getting very wet assisting competitors off the water in the challenging conditions and helped with the rib recovery tasks.
Thank you to the members that loaned Ribs as additional safety cover – this permitted a much greater level of coverage allowing the racing to take place.
Plus the results team who turned around the results for our five races in super quick time – well done.
What a great team & thanks again,
Toby Speller -Rear Commodore Racing
