Ready Set Go!David StoffelsThese are the words that come to mind for me as we launch into what I would think to be one of the bestlooking seasons we have had for some time. Just the vibe around the club is a clear indication of the kind ofsummer we have ahead, which I hope excites you as much as it does me.Often you hear me talk about the fantastic work some of our members do around the club. It struck me theother night at our monthly committee meeting, just what an outstanding job two of our quieter faces on thecommittee really do. These two gentlemen could almost be seen as the backbone of our club and I think don’talways get the recognition they deserve. So next time you see Jeff Stirling and Peter Quigley around the club.Don’t forget to give them a pat on the back.Thanks to Wes Ward for stepping in to fill the role of Publicity Officer whilst David Haberfield is overseas.Last Sunday saw the first Novice & Ladies Helms race for the season. Congratulations to Kaye, Andrea,Jacqueline and Lil on an outstanding effort on behalf of the ladies. Great to see you on the water, in such greatracing conditions.Our first Wednesday social sailing night was a great success. It was great to see some new faces and we hadaround six boats in the water for the social sail. However the lack of wind made for a slow race. We all had agreat laugh with John Landon managing to sail backwards at one stage. If you haven’t attended a Wednesdaynight social night we look forward to seeing you at the next one – Wednesday October 192011. Last night’smembers draw jackpotted to $50 as an added incentive…We have a busy few weeks ahead.This Sunday October 9, we have a site at the Wodonga Children’s Fair from 10am to 3pm. If you have a sparehour or two head down to the Wodonga Racecourse to lend us a hand, it would be greatly appreciated.Sailability will kick off on Saturday October 15 at 1pm. Numbers are looking extremely positive for the comingseason – if you are available for assistance please contact Donald or myself.Our annual Go Sailing Open Day is on Sunday November 6, 2011 – 12 noon till 3.30pm. Please feel free to invitefamily, friends, neighbours, work colleagues or anyone who you think would enjoy sailing as much as we do.We are on the lookout for a good quality lounge, sports gear, beanbags, board games and television for the kids’room.A friendly reminder that all membership and storage fees are now due and should be forwarded as soon aspossible. As you would appreciate, your fees maintain the viability of our wonderful club and its future. (As mywife says it’s another boat out of our driveway – if it’s stored at the club).CheersDave“Sail Away” October 2011
