Sunday's Sailing 10-02-08

Another Sunday, and weather was extremely decent for once! The wind
was up and down Force 2-3, and the current was quite strong, so it was
one of those 2 laps and you're done jobs. Alas, we found that using a
plank as a centreboard means you cannot sail against the wind, so we
had to use engine power!!! 4 boats in all, with new recruit peter on
his first ever sail (Woohoo!!!) in a wayfarer, joined by another
wayfarer, a topper and a laser. Weather for wednesday is lookin sunny
(woohoo) but freezin and also totally windless
(http://www.bbc.co.uk/weather/5day.shtml?id=1349) but that could
change so stay tuned!!

clean-up and burns night

Hi guys,

Are you available the first weekend in Feb to take part in a clean up
of the water sports centre with all the other watersports clubs, it
will be a good way to meet and socialize with everyone in your own
club and the others club maybe we should bring all the booze the club
owns to the BBQ (see below), it may also be a good way to get our club
back in motion again. It is important that we get the water sports
centre sorted out so I hope you all will make the effort to come...

Also there is still sailing every sunday at 2pm at coleraine yacht
club (CYC). CYC is also hosting a burns night next saturday (26th Jan)
with haggis, booze and plenty of other non-haggis foods, its a good
way to meet the rest of the CYC memberes espically if you would like
to crew in the yacht races when they start in spring. Let me know if
you are interested so i can send numbers to Davy.

Cheers
Amy

Coleraine Yacht Club events for December

SUNDAY 16TH

SANTA SUNDAY This will be the last sunday of racing before Christmas day. All members taking part must wear an item of clothing or antlers to represent Xmas. The race should start at 2.30pm and there is mulled wine and mince pies afterwards in the club house. It is possible that Santa will make an appearance so those of you with very young family members can bring a small present for Santa to deliver.

FRIDAY 21ST

MEMBERS NIGHT. This will take the form of a Bottle Draw some party snacks and maybe Music (This has to be confirmed by the new Commodore). The prizes are for those tickets purchased on the night. The more you buy the better the chance you have of winning.
