I would just like to extend my sincere thanks to John Casson, Graham Slack and Tony Clarke for their efforts in persevering in such extraordinary weather conditions this morning to work on the Club displacement boats.

Our next planned working party is on Sunday 9th March. All volunteers gratefully accepted!

Old Windsurf Boards

There are a number of old unclaimed windsurf boards behind the club.

If one is yours, please remove it.  Alternatively if you are unable to do so by the 12^th October work party, let Mike Thomason or Janet know which it is and when you will collect it.

All unclaimed boards will be removed from behind the club in preparation for winter maintenance.

Hello All,
Just a reminder that there is a work party on Saturday 12th October. I will be at the club from 9am so feel free to turn up any time from then. If the weather is good I would like to paint the Bosun’s Hut and Race Box. I hope to see many of you, as many hands make light work.

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
