Welcome to edition 61 of the Bulletin, the regular communication keeping you informed of things happening at HBSC.
" with better weather forecast for the coming weekend, sure be a great time on the water in many forms. Volunteers, last weekend did a great job, from on shore learning, to some stepping in Sunday to support the race. Thank you. There many opportunities and if you are not sure, please contact me.
Many Thanks Peter Falcini

Or add your name and number of guests on the club chat WhatsApp group event message - this list will be up and running after Club Week.
Tyres
Please do not bring any more tyres to the club. There is a surplus, and the locals seem to enjoy rolling them into the sea if they are found loose!
Kayaks
Thank you to those of you who contacted membership@ to check their kayaks are registered. If you have not done so already, please do. If you have, please pick up a tag from the bar (please ensure that the number corresponds to the one on the LIST IN THE BAR). We will be going through the process of removing unidentified kayaks during club week (a month from now).
WhatsApp groups
There are a number of WhatsApp groups that members can join. They are not a formal means of communication but nonetheless, very useful to share interests and chit-chat.
Sailing related chat: https://chat.whatsapp.com/GxkS5XCSChm75tiun3969K
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.
