Sail Training
Would anyone interested in learning to sail, or wanting more information about the courses that are being run this year, please contact Tina Osborne on 017813472399 or alternatively [email protected]">[email protected]?
Courses for beginners will be held over six Saturdays (starting on June 4).
In addition, there is a full week of sail training, commencing on Monday, July 25.
This year's beginners will have first option for that week.
For the improvers, training will start on Saturday, April 9.
Royal Wedding
The club is rising to the occasion! Trophy dinghy events are planned on both the Saturday and the Sunday, in addition to the Warm Up series race on the Sunday. The clubhouse will be available to members as a drop in on the wedding day, with screening of the big occasion in progress. Details will be announced later. If there are cruisers still out of the water by then, members are invited to dress overall for the occasion. Club flags are available for the purpose.
Membership Renewals
I know that some members are inclined to leave renewing their subscriptions until water activities are looming. However, all subs should be in by April 1. Having the funds in on time ensures that the club has a balance in-hand, in the event of any contingencies. There are signs that the roof coverings are ailing, for example.
Priority for placements in the dinghy and tender park is given to members who have joined or rejoined. If you delay you may find that places have all been taken up. I am afraid that the new fee structure was not explained as well as it might.
Your committee apologies for shortcomings in the notes that accompanied the membership forms. A significant number of members have not added in the water activities element. Please remember to do so when renewing (if it applies to you).
Power Boat Courses
Some of you already have your names down for power boat courses. If not, please note that Tina will be providing instruction and examination during April and May. To express interest, please contact her on 01781 3472399.
Milford Haven Coastguards
You will probably have read the press about the alarming prospect of losing our local coastguard. A demonstration was held in Milford on Tuesday.
Our secretary will be lobbying the local MP Simon Hart. Do your bit please to support the coastguard and the excellent work they do, with the benefit of their local knowledge and experience, by writing to our MP.
Pool Table
Owing to pressures on space and declining use, the committee is considering relinquishing the pool table. If you want to express a point of view, please email the secretary at [email protected]">[email protected]
