Laying Up Supper & Photo Competition
Friday 15th November : 7.30pm

As last year this will be in an American Supper style where everyone brings a dish for themselves with some extra to share with others.

After the lift out this year I’m sure you will all have some stories and ideas to share!

Hope to see as many there as possible.

And don’t forget this year’s photo competition also being judged. This year’s categories are “UK at the Seaside” and “UK Action Shots”. There aren’t many entries so far!

Club Racing
training session with Steve Parry from the RYA, Wednesday 13th November, 7pm

A reminder:

Calling all dinghy and cruiser sailors and race officers. Come and meet Steve Parry, our RYA Southern Region Race Management Co-ordinator. Steve has ‘adopted’ Tudor as one of a number of clubs he will be working with to help improve race management standards. He will demystify the role of the race officer and help you understand more about how races are set up and managed. He will look at issues such as getting the length of the race right for the conditions, laying committee boat start lines, and hints and tips for making the role of race officer easier. Our aim is to improve the standard of races at Tudor to improve the experience for race officers and sailors alike. We also hope that by removing some of the myths, some sailors who have never been race officers will be willing to try out the role of race officer for the first time, and that those who already fill this important duty will improve their skills.
