Thank you to everybody who has volunteered so far to help at the TBYC Feva Nationals 2013 , 25th to 28th May.
We are holding an update meeting this Sunday in the club at 5.30pm which we would like all volunteers to attend. The meeting should not last any longer that 45 minutes.
This invitation is also extended to those who plan to help, but haven’t let us know yet. If you are still undecided, remember that you are are likely to find joining in the event a rewarding experience. The success of the event depends on Club members.
Hope to see you there

Missed the meeting on Sunday 14th April, more helpers still required, talk to Nick or Martin for more information or pass your name directly to [email protected] . We need you for our biggest ever event.

This year the club is to hold the Feva Nationals on the end of May Bank Holiday. This event will likely attract 100 plus boats of a national junior class. We would love to see some of our cadets take part in this event and if anyone is interested in helming or crewing to please contact me directly.
My plea today is for helpers for this event. Like cadet week we will have a large number of children and adults at the club. A number of people have come forward already but we would welcome some more to carry this event off as a success.
This will probably be the largest junior open event the club has ever seen. Your help will be very much appreciated.

We have been in discussions with Abi Davies at Burnham Sailing Club regarding holding a winter Feva training session at TBYC on 6th and 7th April, with John Lewis.
They would like all our TBYC Feva sailors to join in with the training.
We have agreed that all boats will be launch and clear of the slipway by 8am on the Saturday and 9am on the Sunday, so as not to interfere with the club racing on either day.
We have offered the use of Swindon rib for support and they may be bringing their own rib as well, which will be left in the car park with the Fevas overnight on the Saturday.
They will be having lunch on both days, and will be using the sail training room for debriefs on both days.
This would be a great opportunity for our Feva sailors to not only get some great training experience, but to also race against other Feva sailors prior to their National Championships in late May at TBYC.
If any other cadet members are interested in Feva training Please contact us. We currently have four TBYC boats on this event – it would be good to get more.

For safety reasons, please make sure you complete any other boat movements before 2.00 pm Sunday 24th March and stay clear of the boat park and slip from then until the lift-in is complete.
Thank you for your cooperation.

The Cruising Section is hosting a Quiz in the bar this Tuesday 12th March, and ALL MEMBERS are welcome.
It would be great if some of the other sailing sections got together a team – usually 4 – 6; we’d love to see more of you Sandhoppers, Fevas, Picos, Cats, Finns, Lasets, Sprints etc.
But you don’t need a team – just come by yourself and we’ll find you (and you’ll find us) convivial company!
There is no need to book; entry is £2 head which pays for the prizes. (No food provided so eat first.)
Our quizzes are always challenging, interesting and fun and an enjoyable, healthily competitive evening is had by all.
(Sorry for the short notice… see Cruising Sailing Dates for forthcoming events. )
cheers
Bill (for Derek, Rear-Commodore Cruising)
