Happy New Year and welcome to 20<strong>13</strong> at the <strong>Yacht</strong> <strong>Club</strong>. We hope the holiday season has been kind<br />
and relaxing for you.<br />
<strong>Jan</strong>uary has been a fairly busy month in the galley. Firing up the month was the RL National<br />
Championship. Talk about a massive week. We had over 90 people camping on our grounds, all of<br />
whom needed feeding and watering after a busy morning of sailing. The RL crew were a fantastic<br />
bunch of families who did everything they could to support our club. Many games of pool, cricket and<br />
bocce were had, it was really wonderful to see the club being used by all age groups (a few of our club<br />
kids benefited from the odd lesson in pool from the teenage RL sailors!) A big thank-you has to go out<br />
to the galley crew and also Helen (coffee maker extraordinaire) and Richard (our snake chaser) for the<br />
mammoth effort put in by all.<br />
The club has also seen another increase in activity with<br />
our beautiful space being used by a new emerging club.<br />
An open water swimming club (still to be named) is in<br />
the process of forming. They have had a few very<br />
successful swims over the holiday period, bringing more<br />
life (and money) to our club. They will be spending the<br />
rest of the season boosting the numbers of our Friday<br />
social night with a swim kicking off at 6pm each week.<br />
Any <strong>Yacht</strong> club members are very welcome to join them.<br />
All abilities welcomed and encouraged.<br />
Due to the unforeseen success of our fantastic Yardarm<br />
Café and Bar, we are putting out a call to members to<br />
join the Galley sub-committee. We are looking for more<br />
enthusiastic people to join our crew. If you love our club,<br />
and can spare some time either over the weekend or<br />
week we would love to hear from you. No experience is<br />
needed, just a desire to help this club recover from 10<br />
years of drought. Ilse and myself (Rhena) would like to<br />
hear from you, we will be holding a meeting planning the<br />
last couple of months on Saturday,2nd <strong>Feb</strong>ruary at 2pm.<br />
‘Yardarm Café and Bar’ Opening hours<br />
Friday - 5pm till late, Saturday – 12pm till 6pm, Sunday 7:30am till 6pm.<br />
The closing time may be extended on the day to suit guests.<br />
Signing off for now<br />
