AED / Resuscitation Familiarisation Evening – 25th April 7:00pm
The aim of the evening is to give as many people as possible hands-on experience of using an Automated External Defibrillator and resuscitation technique so that, should it be needed, you will be better prepared to help.
A paramedic who is a Dive Club member will explain and show what you need to know to use an AED to the best effect. He will have a number of AED’s to show, and explain the important elements that will maximise the outcome if the worst were to happen.
Resuscitation techniques used in conjunction with an AED will be demonstrated on manikins.
This will be followed by practical hands-on session for all participants. Manikins including the latest generation, linked to Apps that will show you if you’re doing it correctly. Both the speed and depth of compressions are monitored.
The evening will be run by British Sub Aqua Club (BSAC) qualified instructors from Southsea Sub Aqua Club, they will have multiple manikins available for everyone to have a go.
Facemasks will be provided to everyone to enable safe use of the manikins by all.
The cost of the course is £15, cash on the evening please, this will include for the price for your mask. Please book on webcollect to reserve your space.
This is not a full resuscitation course but should demystify the procedure and hopefully encourage everyone to get properly trained in the future.

Friendly Friday – All Welcome – 28th April
It’s back! This is the evening when the rowers put their names in a hat and get to row with people of differing capabilities for a fun row round Broom and back.
It’s a great way to get to know each other. If you haven’t rowed before or are relatively new, that is no problem, everyone is welcome to come along and join in, or just to watch and join us for something to eat.
Please prebook food. We will be serving gammon with pineapple, mash and peas.

Staying Safe on the Water
As we start to get sailing again, we thought it would be worthwhile sharing some advice and tips on staying safe on the water. We’ve already had a couple of incidents on the water this year, and some basic safety precautions can help make sure these incidents don’t turn into anything more serious.
- When going out in your tender
- Make sure the weather conditions are suitable for you to use your dinghy and that you don’t overload it. Consider using the Visitors Mooring to pick up guests, or make 2 trips.
- Check your dinghy bung fits, your engine works, and that you have oars and rollocks as a back up.
- Be aware that waves can be higher as you go past Kendall’s than they seem at the end of the slipway.
- Staying safe and warm
- Make sure you have enough warm clothing on; especially early and late in the season and wear a lifejacket when you’re on the water. Here’s some guidance on how to make sure lifejackets fit properly Buoyancy Aids & Lifejackets | safety | RYA
- Also, regularly check your lifejackets are operational. For example, check that the cylinder is still in date and has a firing cartridge. It’s also worth inflating them to make sure they don’t leak. Here’s a good video on how to carry out lifejacket checks: https://rnli.org/magazine/magazine-featured-list/2020/april/how-to-check-and-maintain-your-lifejacket
- Take a handheld radio so that you can get help if anything goes wrong.
- More generally, it’s worth letting someone know when you’re out on the water so that they can raise the alarm if you don’t make contact. The RYA have a free App to let your loved ones know where you are, share your trip, photos and gain quick access to emergency services – RYA SafeTrx
- Moorings
- Check your mooring periodically through the season. Try and buddy up with someone to make the job easier.
- Check shackles are firmly closed. These should be moused with Monel seizing wire
- Check your strop for signs of wear.
- Care on the slipway
- Slipways get slippy! Take your time and don’t be afraid to ask for help.
Please continue to report any incidents or near misses. The attached document tells you how to do this.
All the best for the season

The Womble Cup
What a fantastic day on Saturday.
We had rowing gigs, dinghies, and kayaks out on the water seeking out rubbish, plus we were cheered on by members from their cruisers. Teamwork at its best.
It was great publicity for Tudor; with members of the public chatting and showing their gratitude for our efforts to clean up the shore line. And what a haul! Whilst it made the day a great success it’s quite an eye opener to see the extent of the problem. Along with endless plastic in various states of decay, we found fishing line, old bits of sofa, plastic toys, wheel rims, sleeping bag, clothes, a number plate…. the list goes on. Bags and bags of it were collected.
Thank you to everyone involved in planning, and making it happen on the day. Thank you to each of you taking part and protecting our harbour. A huge team effort that once again puts Tudor on the map in the community. I’m hopeful we can go even bigger next year and lead The Womble Cup across all 3 harbours.
Pictures are attached and hopefully a little bit of dinghy Wombling video [sadly not as WebCollect wouldn’t allow it Ed.]

Paving Slabs up for grabs
The paving slabs in the small compound that we thought we could use for the new patio area have turned out not to be suitable. If any members would like to take some away, please let Bill Jones know – maintenance. They were free to us, and so we are not wanting any payment for them.

TD Dinghy Disposal
Hi All,
There is a tender dinghy up for grabs, it was donated to the club to be used as a cadet rowing training boat but is now surplus to requirements as we have devised other methods. It is currently stored on top of the Kayak rack in the main compound. Please contact Ian DuCane on 07775916077 if interested.

Ebb & Flow
Another pleasingly busy Tidal Diamond, and I’ve had to stretch the Diary Dates below to fit everything it. As such I will simply add some information that has circulated on the WhatsApp groups. Tudor has an easyfundraising page where brands donate cashback amounts to your chosen cause (Tudor) when you shop with them (this requires a browser extension). To find out more and sign up visit: https://www.easyfundraising.org.uk/causes/tudorsailingclub/
As ever, feel free to drop me an email at this address, it is always nice to hear from members. Any ideas of things to include in the Tidal Diamonds would be most welcome.
Let’s be careful out there.
