After two really fun and exciting years I am stepping down as social rep! I am looking for someone to take over the social reins and form part of a new social committee for 2012.

Over the years the club has seen anniversary celebrations, a Royal Wedding, hog roast’s, Christmas parties, summer balls and much much more…….

2012 sets to be an exciting year all round with the London Olympics, Euro 2012, a Diamond Jubilee and of course some great sailing and events at the club.

If anyone is interested in becoming social rep or would be interested in forming part of a social committee or would just like to know a little more about the role please do drop me an email on [email protected]

Sunday 10^th July 2011 

Summers here so let’s take advantage of the great weather & long days. 

TBYC Mulberry Day 

Departure from slipway at 10am weather permitting, plan is to take along Club Safety Boats & the Committee Boat with the club BBQ on board. Bring your own food & drink. We will be back in adequate time for those that want to race at 18:00hrs in the Summer Sunday points. 

A massive thank-you to the TBYC 2011 Regatta Race Officers Alan & Sally Willis and Howard Hawkes who coped with calm professionalism with everything the weather could possibly throw at them this weekend.

Thanks to all the members that supported in the many functions such as Beachmaster, Pico Race Officers, safety boat crews, race recorders, registration, BBQ ticket promotors and the team that spent both days getting very wet assisting competitors off the water in the challenging conditions and helped with the rib recovery tasks.

Thank you to the members that loaned Ribs as additional safety cover – this permitted a much greater level of coverage allowing the racing to take place.

Plus the results team who turned around the results for our five races  in super quick time – well done.

What a great team & thanks again,

Toby Speller -Rear Commodore Racing
