Class Captains

I’m happy to say that Brian and Terri have offered to stand again as Cruiser and Kayak Captains.

Unfortunately, we have no nominations for Dinghy Captain or Rowing Captain. Please do consider if you are able to put yourself forward for these roles – we will not be able to run the range of activities that we currently enjoy without these positions being filled.

Colin Thorpe, Commodore, commodore

Bar Officer

We similarly don’t yet have anybody to take over from Maggie as Bar Officer. Maggie has kindly offered to stay on until the end of the year – this will be a good period to have a proper hand-over from her. The bar will be closed from 1 January if nobody comes forward to do this role.

Colin Thorpe, Commodore, commodore

Nominations Meeting

2pm, Sunday 3rd November. Please consider if there is a role/committee that you would like to stand for.

Cruiser Recovery

Cruiser Recovery is on 12th and 13th October. The slipway will be closed to all members until it is communicated that recovery is complete.

All cruiser owners should be on site by 6am.

Blocks for standing your cruiser on should be brought down the week before, clearly marked with your boat’s name, and left inside the North Gate.

The briefing for all cruiser owners is at 20:00 on Wednesday 9th October.

Compound Works

We have completed the surface improvements in the north of the compound. Thank you to those who turned out to lend a hand, and in particular to Kevin for his expert digger work. 100 tonnes of aggregate has been laid.

We have left a pile of Type 1 inside the north gate. This can be used through the winter to level any areas that need it as the surface settles.

Club Fences

It is a term of our lease that we keep the compound fences and gates in good repair, and these are overdue painting. There are plenty of duty hours available to do this.

General Dinghy Sailing Intentions for Winter 2024

Dear TSC Dinghy sailor,

the summer season has now ended and the Compound reorganisation will prepare the Club premises for the winter routine.

It is my commitment to try to ensure a convenient and handy arrangement for the dinghies on our compounds to meet as much as possible needs and expectations of all the Members. Your help would be extremely useful, and I would appreciate it if you could let me know what your general sailing intentions are for the winter season filling this google form:

https://forms.gle/bt1q46B4CosjDTmK6.

Please be reassured that minor rearrangements are possible at any time, should you change your mind at any point during the winter.

Please do not hesitate to contact me should you have any questions.

A busy Tidal Diamond this week so I shall simply round off with a quick link to Sofa to Sailboat. As a past Leisure 17 owner it was nice to have a chat with them at the Boat Show and see the work they have done on their Leisure 17. The plan is to cross 3000 miles of the Atlantic and raise money for four charities, leaving in December. You can read more at https://www.sofatosailboat.co.uk/.

End of Season Cruiser Get Together

Join us this Friday, September 20th, at the club for an evening to celebrate the highlights of the 2024 cruising season as it draws to a close.

This gathering is a wonderful opportunity for both seasoned cruiser sailors and newcomers to share stories, exchange tips, and offer suggestions. Everyone is welcome, and we look forward to a fun evening of camaraderie and conversation.

Let’s remember, the season isn’t over just yet:

Sunday, 29th September, brings an exciting chance to participate in the Nab Tower Trophy race, a great sail out to the Nab Tower and back.

Additionally, I’m planning a final cruise starting on Wednesday, October 2nd, for a few days. If you’d like to join or meet up along the way, feel free to let me know!

Lastly, we’re gauging interest in a meet-up at the Folly Inn on the Isle of Wight on Saturday, October 5th. Let’s see who’s up for a last hurrah!

Hope to see you there!

Thanks

Women on Water End of Season Social

We are holding an end of season get together at the Club on Thursday 3rd October at 6.30pm.

All women are welcome; kayakers, rowers, dinghy and cruiser sailors, paddle boarders, or those women who love to watch the water from the club garden and get out less often.

It will be an opportunity to get together on dry land and celebrate some fantastic times over the last year or memories – maybe fun, hair-raising or personal or team achievements.

The theme will be a TexMex one, meat or veggie/vegan chilli alongside rice, tortillas, sour cream, guacamole and salsa.

Please can you book on WebCollect by midnight on Tuesday 1st October for catering purposes.

We look forward to seeing you.

If you haven’t already joined please do as going forward this new group will be where the flag officers, our social committee, & class captains post important notices and information about events of interest to all members. If you don’t join you’ll miss important information as we plan to not spam everything out across all WhatsApp groups now.

Bar Manager

We need to appoint a new Bar Manager from amongst our membership. The main tasks are keeping the bar stocked, training new bar volunteers, ensuring that duties are covered, and generally ensuring that the bar operates smoothly. There is a small team that helps with this. It also comes with a seat on the Executive Committee, and covers all duty hours.

Please let me know if you are interested – the bar won’t be able to operate unless we can fill this role.

To round off this week a link to an article from the Solent Protection Society on the ‘Solent CO2 Pipeline’ consultation that may be of interest: https://solentprotection.org/2024/09/02/exxonmobil-pipeline-a-deeper-look/

Next, a quick note of the cruiser dates for next year:

• Cruiser Relaunch – 5/6 April 2025
• Cruiser Recovery – 18/19 Oct 2025

..and finally, if anyone is wanting to go to the Southampton Boatshow and needs a ticket, I have a spare half price one – just drop me an email.

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 always most welcome.

Let’s be careful out there.
