Social Events
A massive thank you to Giles for hosting the whisky and chocolate evening on Saturday, what a wonderful event, even if I didn’t get to bed until gone 1am.
It was lovely to see members from all sections get together and enjoy themselves.
We have a couple of social events this month, we are hoping we will still be able to open the bar during the refurbishment.
Mamma Mia Sing-A-Long – 11th March at 7.00pm
It’s only £3 and that includes popcorn and ice cream, and should be a bit of fun

Curry Night – 18th March 6.30 – 8.00pm
Once a month we will be having a curry evening to see if it proves popular. This month we will be serving chicken tikka masala with rice.
It would help us with numbers if you prebooked on webcollect please, but we are able to take card payments on the evening.

Duty Hours
One of the many perks of being a member of TSC is that we are able to reduce our membership fees by completing duty hours.
If you wish to help us in the galley, it would be much appreciated.
You would need to come along to one of our informal training evenings, to go through health and hygiene in the kitchen, and to check to see if you can make me a decent cup of tea!

Once this has been completed you are able to decide which event you would like to help us with.
It may be preparing or serving food, or even cleaning and washing up, and it equates to £20 an hour off of your fees.

Sailing Duties
Sailing Duties allocation
Those of you with login’s for the Sailing Duties should now have received two emails regarding the allocation process for the first half of the year. The process asks you to “select duties that you would prefer to do, and indicate dates when you will not be available”. The selection period runs until the 7th March when the allocation will commence. It is important to mark the ‘Not available’ as this prevents allocation of duties you cannot do. I would also ask that you add your membership number in the field provided as is aids in reconciling duties to memberships. If for any reason you no longer do duties, then let me know by email at duties
Sailing Duties Volunteers required
Volunteers are needed:
- 20th March PB helm is required
- 3rd April PB helm and Race officer
As always please volunteer on Dutyman: https://dutyman.biz/dmmain.aspx?id=T0001338

Rowing Activities
Get your bobble hats on
Hi everyone.
The rowing calendar for this year is now on the website and there’s plenty to suit everyone.
It’s been a great start to the year. I’ve never seen so many bobble hats out on the water. The conversation is usually ‘I can’t feel my toes, can you feel your toes?’ but it’s an immense joy to see the harbour and her inhabitants at any time of the year. The wonder never dulls.
We’ve got sporty rows, leisure rows, organised events, and intro rows again this year. And we’re delighted we’ve got dates for combined rows/paddles/sailing already in the diary with more to come. New this year is a gentler row for those that crave a slower pace of life (who doesn’t  ).
If you don’t row currently, and would like to, please do get in touch. There’s hopefully something for everyone this year. And most importantly, don’t forget you don’t have to row at all to come along to our Friendly Friday rowing race evenings and share some laughs and a small(ish) G&T
Happy Rowing in 2022.

Ebb & Flow
New membership year, new title. Back when the first lockdown started, what feels like a very long time ago now, and content became very thin on the ground, I needed a title for the section I put together. Waiting for the Tide seemed appropriate (I forgot it was used elsewhere, but it isn’t exactly a unique phrase). As things have progressed, lockdowns have come and gone and we are, if not quite back to normal, at least getting out on the water a bit more I thought we could switch to a more traditional name. Recent members may not know, so for those I will quickly note that Ebb & Flow is / was the printed (or PDF) club newsletter. I don’t know when it started, but it goes back as long as I can remember (in fact I used to envelope and post them a good few years ago). The last one (distributed by email at that time) was in the summer of 2019, and since then it has taken a pause. So with a quick note that member’s content is always welcome, I will borrow / commandeer / press gang the name for here. We are no longer stuck ashore waiting to get on the water again (erm, he says with a cruiser in the compound waiting to get on the water again!), but making best use of all states of the tide and what Langstone Harbour and the surrounding water has to offer.
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.
