 Race Management Volunteers Required for 2014/15 Season
Our new Sailing Season starts on Saturday 6 September with the Annual Sail Past and Commodores Front Up Cup, with the first on-water start on the 13 September.
We would welcome new volunteers for the start boat “Hugh George” for the coming season. Volunteers on the Club's start boat enjoy learning race management skills and being part of a team with a variety of backgrounds and experiences. Newcomers will always be placed with experienced race officers. A light lunch and refreshments are provided, and on “Hugh George” you will be comfortable and largely protected from the elements.
So if you are no longer sailing regularly and can spare the odd Saturday, or have a spouse, friend or partner for example who would like to be out on the water while you are racing, please advise the Sailing Office and a roster will be prepared, or let us know if you would like further information.

 Note from Karen - GM
Hi Members,
Quick update on our Bistro Menu which we will be changing late September ready for the start of a busy summer of sailing! Some of the new menu items we will be ‘trialling’ during the month and we would appreciate your feedback. If there is anything you would particularly like to see included on the new menu, this is your chance to let me know.
We have had delicious soup available for the Wednesday sailors – but this will be stopped at the end of August. It’s only $6.50 for soup and a bread roll.
On the bistro menu, you really need to come in and try the Cobb Salad! I had it last week and it was excellent!
Look forward to hearing back from you! - Karen
