OPENING DAY FOR THE 2010/2011 SEASON IS ON SATURDAY 2^ND OCTOBER 2010

ASSISTANT RACE OFFICER

The Club seeks an Assistant Race Officer to work with Andy Curnow on Lady Mounts Bay during the sailing season. With the occasional weekend Regatta thrown in, this effectively mean 5 hours each Sunday afternoon. It is a job which could well suit a woman – in fact, at most other clubs all the starting, finishing and race teams are mostly manned by women (no pun intended).

If you are that person or know somebody who could be interested,(even if not a Club member) then please have them phone Andy on 0407 422 616. It is light work, it is out in fresh air and you get to spend the afternoon with nice people.

Lady Mounts Bay

LMB is now on the hard at RPYC. Ian Allen has already done a great job in preparing the boat for painting – what we now need is a team to finish the job off! We know the AFL Grand Final is on this weekend, but Monday is a holiday so that still leaves 2 days. Please volunteer some time so the boat can be back in the water for Opening Day (2 Oct). All the materials will be there – we just need your hands. Take Saturday off to watch the footie, but please give us an hour or two over the following 2 days. Contact Charles on 0414 884 255 to tell him of your availability.

Busy Bee

Thank you to all the members who gave up much of their day to attend the busy bee on Saturday. There was an excellent turn out and many tasks were completed in preparation for Opening day on Saturday 2^nd October 2010.
