Kayaking

It’s been a lovely season and I’m sad it’s ended but it’s good to see people still going out when there’s a nice spell.

Thinking ahead; if anyone be willing and able to drive the trailer for a kayak trip to Basingstoke please let me know. We can then have a discussion about dates to suit you to go in the calendar for next year. You would be paid handsomely for your trouble in the form of bacon butty’s!

If anyone has any other ideas for kayaking events or how to encourage people on the water please let me know.

Finally, I hope to see kayakers at the awards evening; there will be an inaugural kayak award!

Terri Johnson, Kayak Captain, kayaks

Ebb & Flow

Although we are at the jet washing and scraping end of the winter layup, there is an interesting article on the RYA website on reducing the environmental impact of antifouling. Antifouling is a bit of a quandary given it is intended to keep growth off the hull, but environmentally we don’t want it to impact the same wildlife elsewhere (if nothing else if it is growing somewhere else it isn’t on the hull!). It also has a notable impact on the yards where it is used unless collected and disposed off properly. To find out more visit: https://www.rya.org.uk/blog/protect-collect-dispose

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.

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.

Well after a bit of a challenge adapting the format to the new WebCollect email editor, which has unexpectedly removed some features and modified the rest, I think I will send this out and hope I’ve managed to adapt things to the new way of working and still keep things readable.

Ebb & Flow

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/.

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.

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.

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.
