Boxing Day / New Years Day at RBSC

Happy Christmas Everyone

Normally we hold a pursuit race followed by the Watney Cup (race for double-handers sailed single handed!) and a bottle race for single-handers on the Sunday between Christmas and New Year, however this year there isn’t a Sunday due to the calendar so we’re holding it on Boxing Day! There seems to be sufficient interest and John Saddington will be in the box with Ian Ayres on rescue duty so there will be a different name on the trophies! Minced pies and Mulled Wine will be available between the races……

Don’t forget on New Year’s day we will be holding our (by now) world renowned! Open Meeting – tell your sailing friends; as it is a Sunday we will be hoping for a bumper turnout; and just for those of you who have overdone it the night before the first race will be at 11 am so you can have an extra 15 minutes in bed – yes we are soooo generous! – can’t be later as it gets dark too early.

See you all there?

Duties: January – June 2017

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
