Most of what has and is happening at the club will feature in the next Newsletter due to be published soon, so please make a point of using this Newsletter to catch up.

There is a Work Party on Saturday 1^st August from 10 am to 12 am including a free snack. If you have not yet attended one of these events, then please try to go along and meet some of your fellow members and give them a hand. It would be useful if you could let Simon, who is leading this event, know that you intend to be there <simon.cus@btinternet.com>

The following week on the 8^th August from 10am to 12am we have a Slip Way Wash Down where we are looking for 2 more volunteers to help keep the slipway safe. You can volunteer by booking via the Duty Roster or call Dawn on 07715 953149

It appears that the AYC Junior (and Adult) Regatta will be taking place in August in a slightly diluted form. We hope to have several Slaughden Juniors in this event so why not pop down and cheer them along.

Generally, our programme of projects has continued to come together this year, so it is great to report that the club is looking in good shape thanks to all the efforts of Committee and support of the members. This is a remarkable result given the impact that COVID has had upon our communities.

For race enthusiasts we have a 3 event COVID series in the calendar for August, refer to calendar. One of these races finishes with a BYO picnic at Little Japan, all welcome and the other two with a BYO picnic at the clubhouse, all welcome. All proceeds for this series will be donated to the NHS.

We also have one of our favourite events a race and cruise to Dove Point on Saturday 15^th August at 11am followed by a BYO picnic at Dove Point and perhaps a swim in the sea.
