Update to Cadet and Open Sailing Sessions
There are now new duty slots each Saturday afternoon for the cadet sessions and Open Sailing Sessions for on the water session lead, Officer of the Day (OOD), and Galley. To be the session lead, anyone who considers themselves as an experienced sailor who has lots of fun and enthusiasm is welcome!
Open Sailing sessions are still available on Saturday morning but without designated safety cover. However, safety cover will be available form 1pm to the session end so that this co-incides with the Cadet Sessions. Note this is a trial to see the uptake and will be reviewed.
Race Officer familiarisation session
Will take place on Friday 14th June 7pm. Bar will be open. This session is for everyone, regardless of experience. The session will last approx 1 hour.
Friday Night Bar
The bar will be open tonight and every Friday evening through the season. David and Jenni are opening the bar tonight. Please sign up on SCM under the duty slots for Friday night bar for future Fridays!
Galley update
Dear members, Unfortunately due to the increase in utility bills and costs, the prices in the galley will have a small increase, but we aim to keep these as low as possible. Thank you. If you are able to carry out a duty slot for the galley just once this year this will help to spread the load. No training required, and if you are unsure, please contact Simone who will talk you through.
Club boats for sale
Club Quba's for sale - see link. Discount for club members.
Lettings
The club room is available for lettings and members receive a discounted rate. Please let it be known to non-members because the income is very helpful to club finances.

Club week - Monday 5th August

Female Participation: This aim of this group is for female members to mutually support each other and to encourage participation in club on the water activities and volunteering/duties. https://chat.whatsapp.com/Ki783uVEAJPBz7AzELtgWH. This is a very new group and we hope that the people who would like to participate will shape and evolve the group as required.
