Barts Bash

This Sunday at 3pm is Barts Bash in memory of Andrew “Bart” Simpson after whom one of our club boats is now named. Last year we had over 30 boats out for Barts Bash. I wonder if we can beat that this year?

The emphasis is on fun and participation by all on a very short simple course near to the club house. So if you have a friend you have been meaning to get out on the water Barts bash is your chance. The event is cadet friendly as we have 3 patrol boats planned and the wind is forecast to be very light indeed. We now have 3 Club boats – 2 fevas and a Quba so if you don’t have access to a suitable boat these might be an option, Maybe an option for parents of cadets, maybe let the kids helm whilst you crew for them?

We don’t have a booking system yet for club boats so I suggest you book a boat by leaving a comment on the event on the website: http://tudorsailing.org.uk/TudorSailing/04_membersecure/Calendar/sailing_display.php?id=123

There is a signup page for Barts Bash at http://www.bartsbash.com/participants-by-venue/6044 You don’t have to sign up… but it’s free and it helps to get in the spirit.

See you at Barts Bash!

“Ehlers-Danlos syndrome (EDS) is a genetic disorder in which the structure of connective tissue is abnormal due to a gene mutation. This results in abnormally fragile and hyper-extensible tissues throughout the body which can lead to a range of multi-systemic symptoms; the effect on the body is widespread and not limited to one body system. There are different types of this condition with a vast spectrum of symptoms which can lead to physical disability or, in some cases, be life limiting.

Ehlers-Danlos UK assists people suffering from this condition or their carers and make people more aware of this disorder. The meeting on Tuesday, 22 September 2015 starting at 7.30pm is to provide support to those suffering with Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome or to give information to those who think they might have it. Non-members are welcome to attend one meeting before they are required to join EDS-UK. More information can be found at http://www.ehlers-danlos.org.”

Deadline for the next issue of Ebb & Flow – Monday, 21 September 2015

Get into print!

Summer’s almost over – so why not tell us at Ebb & Flow all about your sailing activities over the past few months – as well as anything you’ve got planned for the next few as well.

It’s only with contributions from Tudor members that we can keep the good ship Ebb & Flow afloat on the choppy waters of nautical journalism. This is your opportunity to raise the sails on that interesting article you’ve been meaning to write and see it sailing off to a wider readership.

We need your input to keep Ebb & Flow interesting so please let us know all about your summer. If you are writing an article (and please do), a few photos if you have them help to make it even more interesting (and make it easier to adjust it to fit in the space available).

We can all learn from the nautical experiences of others so let’s hear about your sailing successes and failures – don’t be embarrassed, pseudonyms can be used if you prefer! If you’ve been cruising or racing, why not let us have some information on your tips and or trips, race training ideas, where you’ve been, what you’ve seen, what you’ve eaten when you got there. What about writing an article on a particular type of dinghy or cruiser, practical boating advice or cooking in confined quarters – all contributions gratefully received.

Other ideas for articles: what made you want to get afloat in the first place, what was your first sailing experience; what was your worst (and/or best) sailing experience; what boat would you like to own and why; sailing trivia; most useful piece of kit; book reviews; your favourite nautical film or poem?

Sailing stories, cartoons or photos are all welcome? Don’t be shy, start to write – it’s not that difficult. It’s a bit like sailing in fact – once you’ve pushed off, you’ll soon by underway!

If you have an idea, please get in touch Richard Curtis and send your contributions to him at ebbnflow
