2015 race duties are published in Dutyman today.

–

DutyMan is in its 4^th year of use at TBYC and provides an up to date, on-line database of all duties and the racing programme. Duties are not being published in the Handbook this year

Dutyman is emailing the 230 duty-holders with their allocated duties and dates. The majority are allocated  3 or 4 duties per year but some volunteer to do many more.

Each email contains an individual password log-in link to Dutyman. (if you haven’t done so already, please save that link in your Favourites or Bookmarks for future instant access).

–

Please log-in to Dutyman immediately on receipt of your duty list and ‘confirm’ your duties under the ‘confirm your duties’ tab. A blue tick will appear against your duties.

Confirming your duties at that time will let the duty managers know that:

• You are able to access DutyMan;
• DutyMan has your correct email address; and
• You are aware of your 2015 duties.

You can still swap your duties later even though you have confirmed them.

–

There are a few duty-holders without email addresses in DutyMan. These members will receive their duty listing separately with their Handbook.

–

If you have any problems with using or accessing DutyMan please contact me on [email protected]

Next Friday night dining is this week, 20th February, 7-9pm

Please book your table by calling Steve on 07947 741946 or by email to [email protected]

There will be a fresh a la carte menu available, with full table service. I’ve got some lovely steaks coming in which I will serve with macaroni cheese, and a smoked haddock and mussel chowder, amongst other tempting treats.

Hope to see you this Friday

The Galley Kitchen

We have introduced these two new items on the Side Navigation bar of this website. This has consolidated information that was already available in that area. We have however added more information relating and required for Racing, and expanded information for anybody completing a Duty.

Sailing Instructions and Race Mark layout for this years new season will be updated in the next few months.

The Club Calendar on the sidebar has also been updated for 2015. Full Programmes will be sent out soon.

We don’t want to see all the articles in Newsbuoy from just General and Sailing Committee members as we know there are loads of members doing some very interesting things. We will be producing an edition for Spring and would value your input. The magazine is valued and enjoyed by many, why not be a part of it.

Please send you ideas or even finishes article to [email protected]

Don’t miss the start of the Racing Calendar which covers 12 months from Apr15-Mar16. The Calendar is available for purchase at the club bar with an excellent price in line with last year.

The 2015 price remains at £8

We have ordered a similar amount to last year, however if we run out please pay (leaving your name) and we will submit a further order before the calendar starts. All the racing dates in a popular format, with familiar scenes and saving you loads of time writing the programme up somewhere else.

I understand the usual Club Programmes will be with you soon.

As Sunday lunch is getting increasingly popular, please book your table to avoid disappointment
