CEO'S MESSAGE

 
 

Notice to Members \\ House Support

A reminder that this year the Part 1 House Support which should have expired at 30 June, was extended to 31 December due to the COVID-19 virus and the club’s closure.  Part 2 House Support will still expire as usual at 31 December.

The next Part 1 House Support (Jan – June 2021) will be invoiced to all eligible members on 31 December 2021.

The redemption of House Support by members for Take-Away purchases is now only available for packaged beer or bottles of wine.

We have reduced par levels of spirits to better maintain stock control, and unfortunately, spirits can no longer be purchased by the bottle.

We appreciate your understanding in these matters and please contact our Accounts or Membership staff if you have any questions.

Regards,
KAREN BALDWIN
CEO

SB20 Training Group \\ Weekly sessions in January 2021 | 9am - 12pm

The Club is launching a weekly SB20 training session using the Club boats. It is starting in January and will run through the Summer Season on a Saturday morning from 9am to 12pm. The idea is to give members and non-members a training opportunity to build their skills to a level where they can confidently sail a keelboat without a coach on-board.

You can join the group for a month at a time to give people the flexibility to decide how many training sessions they would like to do depending on your skill level. The SB20’s are also available to use during the dinghy Club racing on a Saturday afternoon.
