Bar Volunteers

Hi Fellow Members

I hope you are all enjoying the sun and the lighter evenings.

I am asking if anyone can please help to man the bar on the dates listed below. These duties are vacant due to the lack of volunteers to cover the bar rota. Unfortunately if we do not get any volunteers to cover the duties listed below the bar will be closed.

If you can help out if you can let me know as soon as possible so I can let everyone else know when the bar will be open. my home number is 02392 381962 or wilsontranter

I will try everything to keep the bar open but without volunteers the shutters will remain down. The first vacant duty is this Sunday.

RS Feva World Championships

Just a few days until the start of this year’s RS Feva World Championships, this year being held in Marina di Grossetto, Tuscany, Italy. Max & Guy will be heading south early Friday morning, with a long drive ahead (for Paul & Nikki… the boys are not driving!) After registration and practice, the competition starts with two days of qualifying rounds, followed by three days of finals, sailed in Gold Silver and Bronze fleets. With a total entry of 180 boats, each fleet will be made up of 60 boats. After coming 23rd last year, after a frustratingly light wind week at HISC, Max & Guy are hoping for breezier conditions in Italy. They are both very grateful for all the support from Tudor, and are really hoping to do the club proud.

You can follow the racing via: http://rsfevaworlds.org/ or https://www.facebook.com/RSFevaWorlds or https://twitter.com/RSFevaWorlds (@RSFevaWorlds and using hashtag #RSFevaWorlds)

Chichester Marina this weekend

If anyone is thinking of sailing to Chichester Marina this weekend, Bob and Sandra are taking Celtic lady there and have booked a large table in Chichester Yacht Club where any members would be most welcome to join them for dinner on Saturday evening.

Compound Storage and cleanliness

1. Recently there has been a large amount of rubbish accumulating in the compound. It is not fair to expect other members to clear away rubbish that is left by those who are too lazy to dispose of their own rubbish.
2. There has been an increasing number of Dinghies being moved from allocated spaces into other members spaces. A lot of effort goes into the organisation of the compound. It is not a free for all! Please also be reminded that when changing ownership of a cruiser or dinghy, you must first complete the appropriate forms and request to the Bosun. There has been a number of instances recently where members are changing dinghies without first adhering to the club procedures/byelaws.
