Please do not leave your car in Barrowsands next to the Club House on Friday Night or park there early on Saturday morning as we will be carrying the support boats down the road between 07:00 – 08:00 on Saturday morning.

It’s that time of year and the Support boats , Sandhoppers and Cruisers and being launched next weekend (25th and 26th March) We would ask if you can move your own dingy into a row during this week as to ease the burden of moving them to allow us to get to the Sandhoppers and Cruisers it would be appreciated. We also ask that you avoid being in the dinghy park from 07:00 to midday on both Saturday and Sunday next weekend as we will have heavy machinery operating and the small team of people helping with the lift should be the only people in the dingy park at this time. Thank you and I hope you all have a fabulous season.

This year the programme has been supplied electronically and therefore this will help integrate with your calendars.

As DutyMan has just been populated for the year (Race and Tide details), I thought this would be a good reminder. You can automatically include the DutyMan/Racing dates in your diary (Outlook, Gmail, Smartphones, etc).

The following link downloads a file in a format that is recognised by most packages (.ICS). To put into Outlook you can use the Import Option once the file is saved, and within Gmail Google Calendar you can just add the URL directly as anothers calendar. https://dutyman.biz/eventfeed/T0001839/h11rCbtm . When any changes are made they reflected in this link, so if you are using a dynamic calendar like Gmail it should automatically update.

If you are more adventurous all this information is available in the Smartphone tab once logged into DutyMan, including links specifically for your duties. Remember however the file format isn’t just restricted to Smartphones.

Never miss a race !

Any Problems have a chat with me.

We have an exciting calendar of Cadet Training and Racing this season.

New this year is our Cadet Development Pathway, which will enable us to deliver more focussed training across the full range of abilities from Stingrays to Sharks.
