TBYC Club flag has been lowered today as a mark of respect for Sir David Amess who died earlier today. Although not a club member this is very unusual circumstances and Sir David Amess was one of our local MPs and had been for nearly 40 years. He was a prominent member of our local community known by many at the club and his passing in such tragic circumstances is so sad for all. TBYC wishes to pass on our condolences to Sir David’s family and friends.

Congratulations to Team 2; Michael, Nathan, Eleanor, Ashleigh, Charlotte and Holly for gaining 1st place in the Interclub ‘Cadet’ Team Race.
Well done to all 22 Cadets who represented TBYC in the Interclub ‘Cadet’ Team Race on Sunday 19th September. We gained the first 3 positions and even a 5th place with some of our sailors who have just started sailing this season.
1st place TBYC Team 2
2nd place TBYC Team 1
3rd place TBYC Team 3
5th place TBYC Team 4
There were 73 boats, adults and Cadets, entered for the event. The Mass start was exciting and a little frightning from the beginning, but our Cadets manage to make good progress and complete the course with good times. A special mention to Hannah and Lydia in their RS200 who actually gained 3rd place out of all 73 boats.

Dear Members
We have had over 100 entries for the Winter Sailing and Storage. We are passed the deadline to secure a slot but will of course take entries. However, these will now be on a discretionary basis and a space will not be guaranteed.
ALL OTHER DINGHIES must vacate the dinghy park by the 10th October – just over 2 weeks from now. If no entry for storage is in place before then, it will be assumed that you will be taking your boat home on or before this date.
There are many boats in the dinghy park that have not been touched for years. If owners don’t come forward and they are unidentifiable (which the club rules require) they may be disposed of. Please don’t be that owner who does nothing and leaves it to others to move!
Thank you for your help with this.
Regards
Howard

This Saturday is Barts Bash for all sailors starting at 13.30. There will be a separate start for Cadets similar to the highly successful Rebellious Bowl, 3 minutes after the main fleet.
I encourage those Cadets who can sail a full course unaided to participate.
I will give an optional briefing at 12.45 outside the Sail Training Room and ensure everyone is happy with the course and starts etc.
