Rollesby Broad – Ice Watch

As regular winter sailors / website watchers will know I’ve been carrying out this task for
the last few winters, putting updates on the site on Thursday or Friday often with an update
on Saturday, if the weather is likely to threaten sailing. I know those who travel long distances
to sail have really appreciated this, particularly in marginal conditions.

This was very easy as I lived only 10 minutes walk from the bridge. Unfortunately I have now
moved and have no reason to venture passed Rollesby other than to sail.

So I’m looking for a volunteer or two to take on this role, someone who lives near the club or
passes regularly particularly during or towards the end of the week. Someone who is willing to
put a quick note on the website – or give me or Keith a message and we’ll do it.

Thanks
Ian

Sailing as Normal on Sunday (16th June)

Following an emergency committee meeeting this week and thanks to very generous loans of equipment from members the club will be able to offer racing as normal this Sunday. Please bear with the race team at the start of the day as temporary equipment is put in place / checked for operations.

Please note there will probably not be a rescue craft available this Saturday (15th) but subsequent weekends should not be affected.

More details will be emailed directly to members.
