A huge thank you, from the club office, for all members that have renewed their membership in pleanty of time. This makes the administration process much easier.

As the new Commodore I wish for TBYC and its members to achieve great things in 2012.
I do realise from time to time that members may wish to comment on a wide and varying number of aspects at TBYC with regard to members, cadets, staff and facilities.
I welcome comments of all kinds and would be pleased to discuss issues or take praise wherever it is pointed, on behalf of TBYC.
During 2011 I had a great many ideas discussed with me from members who seek to better their experience and benefit the club as a whole.
Please feel free to contact me at any time on any matter relating to TBYC.

Day Skipper Theory Course
This course can be run over 3 weekends and the can be held in the sail training room. The theory course will run 0900-1800 with breaks for coffee and lunch; the test is done on the last Sunday.
The normal cost of the course is £345.00, but depending on the number of people we have on the course, I have negotiated the following rates:-
4 People – £294 per person
5 People – £246 per person
6 People – £224 per person
7 People – £216.86 per person
8 People – £206.50 per person
These costs include Course pack and certificate (if you pass)
It is recommended that you complete the Day Skipper Theory Course before you do the day skipper practical course.
Day Skipper Practical Course
I am proposing using the committee boat from a Monday to a Friday, to complete the 5 day course. The practical course usually has 2 days in port and the other’s at anchor or moored, but will mean spending 4 nights on the boat. I therefore propose, for comfort purposes, that we only have 4 people on the boat plus the instructor, for each course.
It is proposed that we leave either on a Sunday Evening or Monday Morning, and that all fuel, food and harbour charges are borne by the candidates.
The normal cost of the course when using your own boat is £515 per person with a minimum of 4 people.
I have managed to negotiate a rate of £275 per person based on 4 people on the course
These prices are subject to club/group booking and paid in advance.
If you are interested in taking these courses, please email me on [email protected], letting me know which courses you wish to take. I will then arrange dates for both courses and email you back the availability. Depending on demand, we will run a number of courses for both the day skipper theory and practical tests.

Subscription and fees invoices for 2012 are going to be sent to members this week.
If you are intending to pay by standing order we would be pleased if you could return the completed form to the Club by the end of January at the latest. We realize this does not give you much time, and apologize for this, but would be grateful for your co-operation.
