MHYC Squads
This week there is no racing for any class or squad with the club hosting SSORC this weekend. Over the past few weeks the squads have been coming along in leaps and bounds. This is all in time for Sail Sydney, the Australian Titles and Youth titles. With all these regattas on the way it should be a fun end to the year.
For any information for about travleling and regattas please let me know.
Sail Sydney entries are almost closed so for those wanting to enter it must be done ASAP. MHYC will be sending support for the regatta. For more information please let me know.
Don't forget about the 30th November
There will be no sailing on Sunday 30th, November. This is due to the club hosting the 37th Sydney Short Ocean Racing Championship. One of Sydneys Premier Yacht racing events, and always a great day on the water, if you would like more info click here.
The last day of term will then be on December 7th, and there will be a big end of term BBQ and presentation throughout the day. Stand by for more info on the days events!
MHYC Club Christmas Party.

An Invitation to Cruise
The Clubs Cruising Division representative Phil Darling approached me during the week, to offer an invitation to Junior Sailing members and their parents to join in with their Harbour Days this Summer. Kids and parents are welcome to jump on board with the fleet and head out for the day exploring the Harbour and its beautiful surrounds. Parents who own their own boats are also encouraged to come along and enjoy the day out with the group.
It would be great to see a contingent of our juniors getting out there and enjoying the different philosophy of sailing that our Cruising Division can offer. It's not all about racing!
The Cruising Division has plans for a harbour sail in January, for more information email Phil at darlingp@ozemail.com.au or contact Leon on leon@mhyc.com.au, or otherwise pop into the junior sailing office for a chat next time you're down at the club.
Please Label your Gear!
As the numbers of kids grow, so does the size of our lost property pile! Please make sure you label all of your kids gear, and if you think you might have left something at the Club please come and ask, there is only so much sailing gear I can give away to my family at Christmas!
School's out for Summer! (almost)
Don't forget to book the kids in for a holiday camp this Summer. There will be plenty of hot sunny days where the best place to be will be out on the water. Our famous camps will include Tackers for the yongsters, Learn to Sail for the bigger kids, and Adventure /Development Squad for our little legends.

Notice to Members
It seems to be a regular occurrence of late that Members are 'borrowing' items from either the Club's rack and store room, on Club vessels and in some cases even off other Members' boats.
If you need to borrow something, some simple rules apply:
Please notify someone what you have taken and most importantly, please return it to the place and in the condition you found it.
The Club is now in the position of having to replace items such as chains, anchors and lines and is an unnecessary cost if the itmes are returned when borrowed.
Thank you for your assistance.
Karen Baldwin - General Manager, MHYC
