New RYA Training Principal

David Thomson stood down as RYA Principal at the Club’s AGM in November after 4 years and has handed over to Chris Hutton.  Claire Thomson also stood down as Treasurer for the Training Centre.

Last year was another very successful year and Claire and I would like to wish Chris and the new team every success in 2020.

Merv Clark

New Commodore & Crew

Following the 2019 AGM the staff at SBSC have changed a bit. For the first time in living memory the Membership Sec is not under the control of Merv Clark. I know you cannot believe it but he has stepped up to the role of Commodore.

The new Membership Sec is Jo Mahy. Not enough on her plate sailing three Scorpions at 2 clubs, she now is the friendly face for new members.

Phil Bailey continues to help the club by becoming the Rear Commodore.

There are several new faces on the committees, but more are required. Please help your club by helping out run it. At least that way you can bring your experiences and ideas to the front.

Website Updates

We’ve recently made a few updates to the back-end software running the website. This means that the look has changed a little but the site is basically the same as before. There are still a few minor changes to go but please let us know if you find anything not working correctly.

RYA Adult courses

The final Adult course of the year – AD 905 – over the two weekends 14th & 15th September and 21st & 22nd September is now fully booked.  If you’ve been unlucky this year, please watch out for next year’s dates which will be published at the end of February,
