Tudor SC Calendar of Events 2017-2018

In a move to help reduce printing costs, save more trees and promote the use of electronic information, the executive committee have decided to trial the replacement of the long standing printed club calendars. We have already been publishing this information on our website, and the calendar of events has been available online for over a month. However, for those who still wish to have a paper calendar, and those who are not able to use the internet, we have produced a copy in the form of a photo calendar, which can either be downloaded and printed from the members secure area of the website, or hard copies can be purchased from behind the club bar. If you know of someone who does not use the internet, please share this information with them. We will also be putting some posters up around the club house to advertise the pre-printed calendars which are for sale.

Cruiser Re-launch

I am pleased to let you know that Ian Smith has provisionally agreed to lead the launch weekend. Thank you to Ian for helping out now he now longer owns a cruiser and doesn’t live locally.

This still leaves the role of bosun vacant. If you have considered stepping forward and were not sure of the role then please drop me a line, the next bosuns meeting is on Monday and would be an ideal opportunity for a potential bosun to watch a meeting and see what is discussed.

Get into Print!

Spring is here, so as you emerge blinking into longer (and hopefully warmer) days why not start thinking about your sailing plans for next year. And why not put pen to paper – or fingers to keyboard – and write that contribution for the next issue of Ebb & Flow. You know, the one that you’ve been meaning to do for the past few issues. It’s not difficult, I’m sure that you have some sailing story that you’d like to share with club members. Don’t be shy – we need your input to make the next Ebb and Flow interesting so please get in touch – anything sailing (or vaguely) sailing-related is welcome. Cadets and new members are encouraged to contribute as well as those who are in for the long haul!

Now there’s an idea – I wonder whether “the long haul” is a sailing phrase; an article on sailing expressions in general use could be interesting. But don’t weigh anchor there, if you have an ideas, please get in touch and send your contributions to the email address below.

Membership Renewals

This is a final call for all members to complete their 2017 membership renewal. Payment is due no later than 28th February.

Membership renewals are being handled through our membership system, Webcollect. You will have received an individual renewal reminder email which includes a link to the Webcollect website, with a password renewal link if you haven’t previously logged in. Please log in to the system and go to your subscriptions and click “renew” against all items you wish to renew – your membership and capital levy, plus any boats you intend to keep at the club this year. You have the option of paying by bank transfer, cheque, PayPal or GoCardless Direct Debit. If you select bank transfer or cheque, you will receive an email giving you information on how to make payment. If you have chosen to pay by bank transfer, you will need to go to your bank’s internet or telephone banking service to set up the payment to Tudor Sailing Club’s bank account using the information from the email. Cheques will need to be posted to the Treasurer at the address shown on the email. If you select Paypal or GoCardless Direct Debit, the system will take you through the steps to set up the payment directly.

If you have not completed 15 hours of club duty in the 2016 membership year, a separate order will have been created for the duty levy owed, which will also need to be paid.

In case you are not sure what to do, please refer to the guide which can be found in the member’s area of the club website at this link – http://www.tudorsailing.org.uk/TudorSailing/04_membersecure/Exec_Documents/Upload/Renewals.pdf

Per Club Bye-laws paragraph 6(d)): “Members who have not paid their annual subscription by 1st March will be resigned automatically and must re-apply for membership as for new members. This penalty involves the forfeiture of mooring and compound space and the payment of the current joining fee.” Accordingly, please make sure you make payment for all aspects of your membership (including 2016 duty levy, if owed). Even if you think you have completed your renewals, please check Webcollect to make sure you do not have outstanding orders to settle. Your membership renewal is not viewed as complete until all items are fully paid up.

If you need help with any of this, please contact Janice (Treasurer) or Paul (Secretary)

Cruiser Re-launch

Please note that whilst the role of bosun remains unfilled the cruiser relaunch is at risk of not going ahead. The bosun is an essential role that is pivotal in the smooth running of the weekend and is the person who takes charge and leads the weekend. I will give an update on the cruiser relaunch situation in next week’s TD.
