Just a quick reminder that the deadline for choosing duties for the first half of 2017 is 3pm on 27th November.

Thanks to those who already have; January and February are pretty much complete; you should all get an updated provisional list in the next couple of days by email. If you don’t, or you didn’t get the original in early Nov, please make sure Pete – membership@rbsc.org.uk – has your correct email address. Scroll down for state of play as of noon Sat 19th.

You can sign up in the clubhouse, just once! (the hard copy takes priority) or by emailing me – sailing@rbsc.org.uk – with a choice of at least two dates.

Thanks

Ian

The above members shown chose their own duty date.31

Calling all members.

The date for this event is rapidly approaching.

Due to responses this week I now need one more boat simply for this event to go ahead (and preferably two to make it run smoothly). If you are a Wayfarer owner who could lend your boat please consider helping – otherwise we will have to cancel the event, this decision would have to be taken by end of Sunday 4th Sept and would be a very sad outcome given the time some people have already put in.

Do you have a Wayfarer you would be willing to lend for the day? No need for a spinnaker, insurance covered by the event; does need to be in good working order, we have just enough boats but could really do with one more to make the organisation more comfortable.

Please contact me directly – ian@ayres1968.fsnet.co.uk or 01493 750148 if you can lend your boat. (Many thanks to those who have already done so).

We have a principal race officer (John Saddington) and rescue officer (Paul Warnes) but do need assistants; preferably two for the race box and enough to run two rescue boats on the water; also some ‘jetty hands’ to help rig, launch and recover boats.

This is a great chance for the club to show off its facilities and friendly nature to sailors from all over Norfolk! Please come and show your support.

If you can help in anyway, even for only part of the day, please get in touch.

Thanks

Ian Ayres
