The roster for the bar & bbq is Sunsail 1, followed by Sunsail 2, the Adrenalin and Hamilton Mentor. Any guests or non sailors are always welcome to cook or man the bar.

Twilight Racing.

Good Morning All, only 2 twilights to go until Santa fills your socks with goodies. The bbq & bar this week is courtesy of Sunmaid, they didn’t make it last week.

Unfortunately, it’s vale Don McLean, of Bowen, who passed away last sat evening. Don was well into his 90’s and has suffered lately from cancer.

Don was here for the inaugural race week, and everyone since, only missing this year due to health. He was a competitive sailor, and often crewed on boats, lately turning up as a spectator. I first met Don in the early 80’s, he bought a Noelex 20, which he raced up & down the coast, always with the same crew, always happy and smiling. His 3 sons were here this year for race week, Michael on the SB3’s, Crazy and Lach cruising on other boats.

I last saw him in the Wesley hosp about a month ago, and despite the prognosis, there was his big smile and happy, outstretched hand, chatting away. One of life’s true gentlemen.

Broad reaches Don, his funeral is in Bowen this Friday.

See you all at the club tmrw night,

Regards, Bruce.

Race Results

Good Afternoon All, please find attached results from last week / month.  Julie Meynell from the Rogers family sends her best wishes and thanks to all at the club. They were unable to make it this year, but insisted on sponsoring the month again, and they will definitely be here next year as it is the 10th anniversary.

 

Your erstwhile handicapper has been in hospital, has 35 stitches in his mouth, no steak for him tmrw night, rum only, and now is probably a good time to initiate discussion re handicaps.  Just kidding, I think you know my thoughts on handicaps and twilight races.

 

Many thanks for all who helped out for the wedding party last week, HIE, Carissa, Lissa, Hans, the bbq boys, Laurelle, Georgina, it sounds like it was a good night.

 

Thanks too, to Josh & Jody for giving the CYC the opportunity to make a quid for the club.

 

The audited figures are finally back from the accn’t for last year, anyone is welcome to view them, please feel free to call me.

 

The bbq & bar roster this week goes to Sunmaid.

 

Please remember, no race fees, no result, please direct all free drinks to the secretary, all complaints to the Commodore.

 

See you out there tmrw,

 

Regards, Bruce,

 

SECRETARY.

Race Results 23.11.11

Good Afternoon All, here is last weeks results.

Some general notes of info..

Rowen Quinn is looking at manufacturing the new roof for the start boat.

Brett Childs has all the other maint in hand.

For the bbq this week, Peter Teakle and the HI Mentor crew are doing the bbq, Georgina & Laurelle are doing the bar.

This wed night, Josh Harrington has 60 odd guests for his pending wedding, no pun intended but some of them will come from SA, so they may be odd, and some soap dodgers too…. Would everyone please make these guests welcome. There is extra grog ordered, double the salads plus one, Josh is liasing with Carissa re tables, chairs and eskies.

Last week there were no records of boats paying their race fees. If you didn’t pay your fees please do so this week, if you did, please let the girls know so the note can be made. The handicapper & commodore are checking each week, there will be no result if fees are not paid.

As we are having more visitors each week, please encourage all these to join the club, even as a social member, it’s pretty cheap.

Unfortunately I’m away this wed, hope you all have an excellent evening !

Tks, Regards,

Bruce.
