I have moderated and seen to the programming of the TBYC website for 5 years now, it’s time to hand over the keys to someone with the necessary skills.
This has nothing to do with the hosting because as of last November Ian Homan took over the hosting from me and is kindly hosting the website on his server but does not have an active role in the administration of the site.
The role would require you to know about WordPress and HTML to administer the site.
If any member is interested in taking over my role then please contact Janet Willsmore at the club with your experience. email: [email protected]

At the RNLI Supporters dinner last night, I am very pleased and honoured to receive, on behalf of Thorpe Bay Yacht Club, a letter of thanks signed by the Cheif Executive of the RNLI for the years of support our club has given to the Institute. Thanks were given to us for not only the financial donations but also for welcoming members of the crews and committees to use our club facilities.
We also received a plaque, of thanks, from the Institute.
The award can be seen on the wall by the main bar.

Lucille Palmer is braving the elements at the end of February in Northern Sweden inside the arctic circle to raise money for Walk the Walk in aid of Breast Cancer. This will involve two days trekking using cross country skis covering 13 miles a day – no mean feat without huskies or a steep slope.
You may have seen her walking at a fair old lick (but under the 5mph they recommend for training!!!) along the seafront in thermals and sporting a rucksack as part of her acclimatisation process.
You can follow her progress or preferably donate some money to support her in this gargantuan effort on the Walk the Walk website.
