Social Events

It looked like all those people who came to the BBQ and stayed for Bertie Butler and his 'Jazz Pilgrims' had a brilliant time on Saturday night. Next dates for your social diaries- June 12th,18th and 23rd for Englands first round matches in the World Cup. You will be able to watch England and enjoy some culinary delights of the opposing team cooked by Chef David and his team.

Race officers required for Evening Series

We need race officers for the Evening Series. The next race is on Wednesday 2 June. Please put your names on the board in the club. If there are no volunteers there will be no race - and that would be a pity.

IMPORTANT NOTICE

The General Committee wish to draw members' attention to Club Rule 44 which states that "A member introducing a visitor shall on entering the Club premises insert the visitor's name and address in the visitors' book and sign the entry..........Non members shall not visit the Club premises more than six times in any one year". The Visitors' Book is being regularly checked and we are aware of offenders (who will receive a letter). More importantly, we risk losing our licence if we are inspected and found to be breaking the conditions of our Club Premises Certificate. WYC.

Have a look at this link - http://www.youtube.com/user/1888O818O8881#p/u - it was put together by WYC member William Lee by using still from the webcam. Melanie

Well done Melanie

Congratulations to our very own Melanie Rogers, who sailing with Dan Norman, won the Dart 18 Open at the club over the weekend. They scored two firsts, three thirds and discarded a fourth in a highly competitive 36 boat fleet. Very well done!

Race Officer Duties

A guide for race officers is available on the club website. Before you arrive for your RO duty this year, please take the time to read it. And please arrive at least an hour before the starting time - two hours if you expect to be on the committee boat.

WIFI comes to WYC

You can now work from an office with a sea view. All you need is a wireless device and simply search for a "Freerunner Hotspot", connect to it and it will take you to the WYC landing page. You will then need to register!

Bank Holiday BBQ’s

Please note that the bank holiday BBQ's are scheduled to take place at 6.30pm on Saturday May 1st and Saturday May 29th - the dates previously advertised were incorrect. Apologies. WYC

Help required for evening series

As it is not possible to roster race officers and recorders for Wednesday evening racing, volunteers are required to carry out these duties. There is a list on the noticeboard in the club giving the dates of the racing. If you are able to help, please put your name on the list.

Lost Property

Please e-mail the office with details of anything you believe has been mislaid at the club. This season, items left in the changing rooms will be put in the scran bins after each weekend. The scran bins will be emptied monthly. Smelly socks and knickers will be binned. Other items will be catalogued and stored for a further 6 weeks. If unclaimed, they will be disposed of. Please don’t regard the changing rooms as your personal season-long storage area. There just isn’t enough space! WYC

Summer Bar Opening Times - Monday to Thursday Lunchtimes

Just a reminder that we are now open from Monday to Thursday during the summer. Opening hours are from 12-2.30 (this includes drinking up time). Food will be available to order from the bar. Also, within the next month or so we will have Wifi at the Club for members' use....... so, if you want a working lunch, with the benefit of a sea view......this is the place to be! Melanie
