A Million Thanks

To the members who gave up their Saturday morning to help with maintenance at the club on Saturday, 12th September and also those who did a bit more on Saturday 19th.

We achieved a great deal and the club looks a lot better for the efforts so again, many thanks and thanks in particular to Allan Coleman for organising it all.

General Tidy Up

As you have probably noticed, the club is looking a bit untidy lately and consequently it is time to have a general tidy up again.

If you have a strimmer, 'branch cutter', or other tools that you think may be useful please bring them along.

It is imperative to have these 'tidy ups' or things rapidly get in a worse mess. It also serves as a good social gathering when everyone is working together for the common good, so do your best to attend and help this coming Saturday, 12th September. Some will start at 9am but if you can't make it then just come along as soon as you can.

Fastnet 2009

Hello,

As some of you know i'm taking part in this years fastnet yacht race. I've completed all the qualifying races i signed up for and now have just the big race left to do on Sunday 9th August.
Below are some links if you'd like to follow my progress. The first link is the main rorc site but has further info linking including yacht tracking. The second link is to the website setup for our team Jumping Jelly Fish, it has pictures and write up's of all the qualifying races we did.

HARD TIDY UP

At last the days are staying lighter a bit longer - a harbinger of warmer times to come.

On March 1st we change to Sunday afternoon sailing but your hardmaster would like to take advantage of your early rising habit by having the biannial tidy of the hard in the morning, when you have been normally sailing.

It is imperative to have these 'tidy ups' or things rapidly get in a mess. It also serves as a good social gathering when everyone is working together for the common good, so do your best to attend and help.

A list will be on the club notice board for people to say they can help, and to identify any particular jobs they would like to do. However, please still come down even if you don't get chance to add your name to the list.

The OOD box and boathouse need a coat of wood stain/fence satin and if anyone has a spare tub of Brown they don’t want can they bring it along. Also to bring shovels, yard brushes, tree pruners etc.

Morning All,

A hand bell that was used at the prize dinner dance last night, has gone missing, if you have seen it or know where it is could you please let Joanne Carty or Dave Batsford know as it DOES NOT BELONG TO THE CLUB, it is the property of the school where Joanne teaches.

Your help in this matter would be greatly appreciated.

Regards

Chris Davis
