Commodores Blog Oct 2019
Published 14:55 on 1 Nov 2019
Not much to report this month although we did have 5 excellent talks on each Wednesday evening throughout October. In some cases we had up to 25 attendees for the talk. The quality of the presentations was very impressive. A big thankyou to all those presenters for doing such a great job and sharing with us your passion.
October saw a 'tie down' dinghy park work party putting away a number of the club boats, making sure other craft were secure in readiness for any poor weather over winter. Attendance was less than we would have liked (due to half term / unkind weather / something to do with rugby!) but those that were there were very productive. A big thankyou to all those that managed to attend.
The evening followed with a 'laying up' supper prepared by Dawn our Social Secretary. About 18 people attended for a really pleasant get together with lots of conversation which went on until about 11pm.
I don't think it will come as a surprise that in November (9th) we have our AGM. All members should have received communication in various ways informing of the programme for the day. The Committee really encourage you to make the effort to come along for what is a very informative and social event providing an opportunity to meet existing and new members.
Hopefully by the time the AGM comes around we will have had most of the Committee and Non- Committee roles filed. If you would like to be involved as a Committee or Non- Committee member then please let me know, additional support is always welcome.
Terry Sheppey our News Editor published a Newsletter very recently which I hope you find informative. A copy should have arrived in your mailbox so please take the time to read the content.
We are also starting to put together the calendar for 2020 so gradually events will start appearing on the website.
We have plans to include an RYA Level 1 and separately an RYA L2 dinghy course in 2020 based at Slaughden. Di Munro our TPC is just finalising the arrangements with details to follow.
