Thanks Pete and crew for making his night special.
Parking Fines
We have had reports of a few members being fined for parking on "nature strips" on 2nd February. Rob Campbell is investigating this and would like you to contact him if you have been given a parking fine recently. As a precaution, could all members please try and stick to parking on the gravel area of the carpark and not a slanted part of land next to tanbark, as this could be classed as illegal and attract a fine. Contact Rob on email
Junior Keelboat Night
What a huge success Ciaran's Cup was last Friday night. To be in contention for the cup, competing boats needed to have junior sailors onboard, with juniors being classed as 21 years and below. We had 11 boats carrying 19 juniors. Our eldest junior was 19 years old and our youngest was 6 years old. The winner of the cup was Nick Meijer, who sailed onboard Just Cruisin' with Neil Whitaker. The night was a great opportunity to host Nat Sevoir from Community Bank Southern Peninsula, as she has been pivotal in our junior sailing programs success through the community grants. Nat sailed on Shimmer with junior member Nathan, skippers Steve and his crew. I would like to thank Ciaran for being there to present the winners, and also all of the boats that hosted juniors, Anthea, Fransiska, Happy Days, Just Cruisin, Shimmer, Unprecedented, Vamonos, Vincitore, Whiskers, Y Knot, and 11:11.
I look forward to seeing how big we can make this event next year. Fiona x
