TBYC are very pleased to announce that as from yesterday we are pleased to welcome Fuud Ltd as a permanent caterer for our club.
Richard James and his team look forward to welcoming members for a full range of meals at our regular opening times and to cover our sailing hours.
I would ask you all to support Richard as he gets used to our likes and dislikes.

The General Committee at TBYC would like to invite you to a new members evening at the Clubhouse on Thursday 16th August from 19:30 onwards.

As this is our regular cadet night the evening will be completely informal, but will give you a chance to meet other adult members and cadets.

The Commodore and some members of the General Committee will be there to welcome you and help with any queries that you may have regarding the Club facilities etc.

You are probably already involved with the sailing activities at the Club, but, if not, this will be a great opportunity to get acquainted with other members and cadets before cadet week begins.

For those of you who are novice sailors, or who have not started sailing yet, we hope to have a Pico in the dinghy park to demonstrate how to rig our Club’s favourite cadet boat.

Whether you are an active sailor or just enjoy watching the kids on the water we hope that you will come along and meet some like minded people.

I would appreciate it if you would let me know if you can attend the evening. My phone number and e-mail address are on the back of the sailing programme.

Regards
William Daly
Membership Secretary

Liz Austin, Nick Cotgrove, Barry and Mike Duce, Will Daly, Paul Farrall, Chris Gibson, Alan Grant, Tony Padbury, Paul Spratt, Toby Speller, David Slade, Peter Thompson and anyone else I’ve missed (sorry) who pitched in and got their feet wet scrubbing off and antifouling the committee boat on Saturday. It’s so rewarding to join in a work party, doing a worthwhile job and feeling part of the Club.

Many thanks to all those who helped scrub off and antifoul the committee boat as well as the work carried out on the race hut.

A nice sunny day with lovely people, if you missed out come along to the next one.

thanks again

Barry

Well equipped family boat, a fantastic introduction boat that will get you and your family into catamaran sailing, Single hand or take out friends for some twin trapeze fun.
The Twixxy is a well equipped family boat with twin trapeze which combines performance with durability. The hulls are triple layer rotomoulded so no worries about the odd bump and you can drag it up and down the beach without damaging it.
