Race Officer training and Committee Boat familiarisation.

Sunday 15th April 2012

The tide is out so there is no racing – it’s time to learn or renew your Race Officer skills and look over the new Committee Boat.

The Committee boat will be moored at the slipway. We will be running sessions at 10 00am, 11.00am and 12 midday.

Apart from familiarising yourself with the new Committee Boat you will be able to learn and discuss Race Officer skills hands-on on the boat.

If you have been allocated a Race Officer or Assistant Race Officer duty and feel the need to brush up on your understanding and to see the new Committee Boat – or you just consider that you need some hands-on Race Officer training for future use – these sessions are for you. All are welcome at all levels.

If you would like to attend one of these sessions please email [email protected] as soon as possible so that we can assess the level of turn out and allocate times. If you have a time preference then please let us know.

Don’t forget our complimentary Karaoke evening for club members this Easter Saturday 7th April between 6.00 and 9.00pm.  This promises to be a great family evening and a perfect way to get together with family and friends at the club after sailing.  Hope you can make it!

Dear all,

We are progressing well with Cadet week plans. This year we are launching a new group but want to ensure we have sufficient RIB and Support boat cover.

Currently we require an additional 2 RIBS.

Should you know of anyone who would be willing to lend a suitable craft to the club for the week of the 20th August – on the understanding that it would only be helmed by experienced and qualified personnel – please can you forward their details.

Thank you,

Mike

It really is OK to say ‘No’ – but please say yes if you can

Dutyman allows a duty holder to request a swop with up to 20 other duties at any one time. An email is sent to those being requested to swop. The first one to say ‘yes’ gets the swop and the Duty Roster is immediately updated.

If you receive a swop request please reply even if you cannot do the swop – it’s better that the person requesting a swop knows the position. It really is Ok to say ‘no’ if you cannot do the swop as the member seeking the swop can then get on with requesting swops elsewhere.

However, if you can swop then please do so. We could all be in the position of needing to swop at some time.

DutyMan has email addresses for the vast majority of the 260 members on the Duty Roster. But there are a few who do not have email and we do know that some of the email addresses that we do have are incorrect (we are working on this). We also know that some members do not look at their email very frequently. So there are a few at present who cannot send or receive any swopping emails.

Many thanks to all of you who turned up for the work party on sunday, fantastic weather which allowed us to get a huge amount done.

Remember Sunday from 9am work party at TBYC, please find Paul Beasley, Anthony Blower or Barry to allocate jobs,

many thanks
