a very big thankyou to Mark Petty-Mayor for an excellent evening covering CPR and defibrillator emergency response training.
we are very lucky to have had a defibrillator very generously donated to TBYC by Team Palmer which is positioned on the wall next to the main bar. This is a very easy to use piece of equipment which along with CPR can really help save someones life.

Mark Petty-Mayor is a natural leader and teacher and we are so very lucky to have such members who are able to donate their time and expertise so generously.

Mark offers all the first aid and emergency response courses through his company to organisations big and small and it would be great if your workplace requires these courses you could contact Mark.

I hope nobody will object to me using this board for this, but this coming Saturday I am driving up to Alexander Palace for the Dinghy Show and have a few empty places in the car if anyone else would like a lift.

The Members of TBYC have chosen a new list of wines for the club at an evening hosted by Martin Swindon.

It was a great evening with plenty of wine to choose from and a fantastic buffet to complement.

After some years of good service and great food Jo has decided to vacate the Kitchen Franchise.

We now need to find a caterer to fill this position, we have had a number of enquiries to date and we would ask any member who may be able to assist in the search, to fully maximise the club’s options, then please contact me.

I would like to take this opportunity to Thank Jo and her team for the dedication and great service they have given to TBYC.

A big thank you to all those who turned up on saturday in the poor weather, unfortunately we were unable to do any painting however lots of other messy jobs were carried out, slipway scrubbing, race box sorting, fence repairs, drinks cooler moving and lift removal.
well done to Peter Thompson who almost single handed antifouled the slipway on sunday.
The next work party is set for saturday the 19th march, we will need lots of help to get the painting done on the committee boat and guard boats, if in the meantime you have a spare few hours on a sunny day and would like to make a start please do so, call Barry or Peter for access to the paints etc.
Also thanks to the boys who supplied the tools, Matt, Toby, Anthony & Mike,

I am sure all the parents will join me in saying a big “thank you” to Rupert Snow and Debbie Kilkelly for arranging and supervising the Cadet trip today.  It sounds like they all had a lot of fun.  Cheers guys.
