Parking on the West Quay
Posted: Monday, 23 June, 2008
A number of cars have recently been left parked on the west quay. I have been asked to remind people that the harbour authorities do not permit parking for club members (or members of the public) on the west quay. You may tow the boat out to its parking space, but the car must be removed without unnecessary delay. Once the boat is in place, boat owners may not use the west quay for parking while they go sailing. To protect good relations between the club and the harbour authorities, It would be appreciated if this restriction could be respected. Many thanks. WYC
Message from Rick Perkins (Event Co-ordinator - Musto Skiffs)
Posted: Monday, 16 June, 2008
Once again thank you to all those who helped make the event such a success; huge team effort by all the club members & staff and I had many people say to me after the event what a great job the club had done and that this was the best Nationals ever!! One sailor liked it so much he left his boat behind & has decided to join the club. Regards, Rick PS: Final Results will be available shortly.

As tempting as it is, it would be appreciated if sailors did not use the showers to rinse their sailing gear. The showers are becoming very difficult to clean as they are full of grit and our old drains are finding it difficult to cope - not to mention the dreadful waste of hot water. There are outside hoses which can be used for this purpose! WYC
URGENT, URGENT, URGENT - THE BARRIER KEY
Posted: Monday, 02 June, 2008
The barrier key has not been returned. Please could anyone who used this at the weekend check their car/sailing bag/boat - we have a major National Championship meeting here next week and need this key urgently. As a result of this, all keys borrowed from behind the bar/office will now have to be signed in and signed out. WYC
Security - Update
Posted: Friday, 16 May, 2008
We have now installed new combination locks on the door to the gents changing room and adjusted the door closers to work more effectively. We have also changed the security codes on both doors and you will be able to obtain the new code from our bar staff. Please do not be offended if our staff ask if you are a member. May I once again remind you all to ensure that the door is firmly shut behind you! WYC

Security at the Club
Posted: Monday, 12 May, 2008
Following on from the previous posting, It has come to our knowledge that the outside door to the gents' changing rooms is constantly being left on the latch to allow easy access into the changing rooms. The keypad is there for security reasons and should not (in any circumstance) be left open. WYC
Security Alert
Posted: Saturday, 10 May, 2008
Items of value have been reported missing from the gents’ changing room recently. Please take no risks with your money and valuables. Lock them away or ask someone to look after them for you. Be particularly vigilent and report any suspicious people or behaviour, especially during racing hours.
Congratulations to Melanie Rogers - National Champ

Mel, crewing for Dan Norman, won the Dart 18 National Championships at Parkstone over the weekend. Scoring two firsts and two seconds they finished 3 points clear of the runner up. Well done Mel!
Learn to Jive at WYC
Posted: Wednesday, 23 April, 2008
Grab your partners for the time of your life. Learn to jive - it's fun and better than keep fit. Each evening is split between lessons and freestyle dancing where you can pratice your new moves. I guarantee it's the most fun you will have on the dancefloor (without Patrick Swayze). The first evening will take place 8pm on Wednesday, 7th May and will cost £5.00. Val has put a lot of hard work into organising this so come and show your support.

Man’s Best Friend
Posted: Wednesday, 09 April, 2008
Whilst most of us love them, not everyone wants to share their lunch with furry friends. Could I therefore remind you all of the Club Byelaw which states that dogs are not allowed in the bar or lounge area and that they must be kept on a lead at all times. I would be grateful if dog owners would remember this (myself included!). Melanie.
Club Notice
Posted: Monday, 31 March, 2008
Please do not access the Gents Changing Room/Toilets via the steps off of the Sea Room in wet gear. This is making the steps very wet and the staff constantly use them to access the cellar. I will put up a sign by way of reminder. Thank you. Melanie
From your 4 star kitchen.

Your lunch awaits you! Monday to Friday we are offering a Dish of the Day and a Handful of the day. Not what you think but an overstuffed doorstop sandwich on a choice of bread served with a mixed salad, dressing, coleslaw and pringles. Definitely not your ordinary sandwich. Seven days a week we now serve Jacket Potatoes, Breakfasts, Items on Toast and Melts. We have several new sandwich fillings and all the old favorites. If you have any suggestions for your catering please let me know. Sandra
