Saturday Sailing 7/1/12.

This afternoons sailing saw the brave but few in attendance at the pool. it may of been somewhat sunny, but I can asdsure you it was not too warm, as you can see by some of the pictures of the fashionable winter jackets and hats. Many thanks to Mark for taking his camera along, as I was not able to attend, spending my time behind a keyboard sorting out club files for 2012.
the pool water level has risen, due to the rain we have had over the past couple of weeks, which has diluted the green algae down a lot, but the number of discarded plastic bags, especially bread bags is increasing.

It would be really nice if after people had taken the time and effort to visit the pool, to feed the birds, they would DISPOSE OF THE BAGS IN THE BINS ! and not leave them to be blown by the wind, in to the pool, where they become a danger to the wild birds AND our model boats.

PLEASE PLEASE DISPOSE OF YOUR LITTER IN THE BINS LOCATED AROUND THE POOL.

DON'T KILL THE BIRDS YOU ARE FEEDING BY LETTING THE BAG BLOW IN TO THE WATER. The birds can often go after the bread bags, to see if any more bread is inside and end up suffocating with their head stuck in one, especially if it is half filled with water too.

The final touches is being done to the clubs HUFFY racing and hopefully this will commence in February, with races on a regualr basis, watch this space for further updates.
The majority of club members have renewed their memberships [many thanks], sorry but to keep costs down you will not get a response to say your payment has been recieved, but your membership packs will be posted out as soon as the club handbooks arrive with me.
The packs will include a few more pages this year as all members will recieve aplication forms for the HUFFy racing, best sail or scale award as well as the updated club member discount scheme.
