Summers over….officially

Sunday was the end of the Summer Racing Series and  Thursday was the last of this year’s Evening sailing series.  Thanks to everyone who took their turn to Race Officer and carry out OOD duties.

Due to our reduced membership we no longer have sufficient members to be OODs on Saturdays until next May (your Committee will decide whether we have enough members  to cover April when we know how many have renewed).  
Members may still sail on a Saturday but you will have to bring your own safety boat crew so you could join up with friends for the day.
Sundays will still be open for casual sailing and racing.  For those you who still haven’t done your required number of duties, please see the Dutyman program on the website and volunteer.  I note several members who the Committee allocated duties have not confirmed their duty which they should do as soon as possible.  You will be receiving automatic reminders by email.

Thank you to all the members who have carried out duties during the Thursday Series so far. I have made a list of those who have (on the noticeboard) and note there are several names who need to do some duties.

This coming Thursday (10th August) there are no volunteers so far on Dutyman.

Please put your name down soonest.

The last race in the 21 Race Series will be on the 24th and we will again be running a
PRIZE GIVING AND PIZZA NIGHT after racing. Free to competitors, donation from supporters.
Please bring your own alcohol and hot and cold drinks will be available from the Galley

Dorset Triangle 2023 SBSC

Dorset Triangle

Next Sunday is the first leg of the 2023 Dorset Triangle at home. Boats from Castle Cove and Lyme Regis are invited to take part against us in a 3 race series. Also part of the event is the Banbury Chaser which is between Lyme and us.
Come along and help us try to win both, everyone is welcome and we’d love to see you.

We are looking forward to seeing the sailors from the opposition clubs too

Lyme Regis Sailing Club
Castle Cove Sailing Club

To get the Club ready for the year ahead there are a number of jobs including cutting back the undergrowth and general tidying up that need doing.
Please spare what time you have on Saturday to come to the Club and bring any suitable gardening tools, protective clothing and gloves etc.
The Club will be providing bacon butties and hot drinks to keep you going and possible cake as well.

For those of you going to the Dinghy Show, there is a second Working Party Day in a month’s time on the 25th March so you will not miss out

The safety /galley duty roster is looking rather empty. Please make sure you go to the Dutyman app to volunteer for the correct number of duties for your membership for this year. You can find more details and the link to Dutyman on this link – https://ift.tt/9CSPogq

If you don’t choose your dates you will soon be allocated them.
