Richard Stevens is the Race Officer for the Toppers at Portland on the weekend of 7/8 February, and is looking for assistance. Richard will be using his boat, Opus, as committee boat at one end of the line, and would be grateful for assistance on board. He is also seeking another boat to mark the other end of the line.

Tidal Diamond 430 – AGM, Club Duties, Harbour Marks, Diary Dates

Tidal Diamond No. 430

Tudor Annual General Meeting – Sunday 11th January @ 14:00

Just a reminder that the AGM is this coming Sunday.

Richard Gunn
Commodore

Club Duties completed during 2014

Would members who have completed club duties during 2014 please let me have a signed Club Duty record as soon as possible. This can be left at the club in the mail box inside the main clubroom, or scan and email to me. This is needed now as Jan and I need to prepare membership renewal invoices soon after the AGM.

Members who complete duties on a regular rota basis (bar, galley, sailing etc) need not present a duty record as details will be confirmed by the relevant committee lead.

Many thanks

Mo Clark
Hon Secretary

Harbour Marks

The Harbourmaster has confirmed that when the previously unnamed green buoy returns to position (the one marked “No name” on our charts), it will be named WEST SWORD.
