Cadet Week 2020 Cancelled

As a committee we took the decision back in March to continue to plan for a Cadet week, but not to put out the application forms due to the uncertainty of the duration of lockdown. The General Committee have been meeting on a weekly basis, closely monitoring the guidance from the Government and subsequent changes to the advice given by the RYA and PLA.

Having reviewed the planned changes to restrictions issued last week and even with the gradual lifting of lockdown, the obstacles were too big for us to provide a safe event on and off the water. We have therefore taken the decision to cancel this year’s Cadet Week. This is not a decision we have taken lightly, we are disappointed but feel it is the right decision.

As the summer progresses I look forward to seeing more people re integrating with the club and getting back on the water in whatever form that may be. When as a club we are able to organise activities safely, we will look at the remaining planned Cadet programme for the season and issue further guidance.

This is the second Cadet Egg Hunt of the day and Steve Hopper didn’t know about it but he must have a big stash of prizes.

On the www.tbyc.org website (no more than one link down, so try the pages) there are nine small pictures of 3 Easter Eggs and when you find them click on them, you will be given a word. When you have the words put them in the correct order and send the 9 word sentence to me at [email protected] .

The winner for another egg will be pulled randomly from the correct entries. Cadets must be 19 or under.
