TF]]> http://www.rnyc.org.uk/blog/index.php?entry=entry120124-131504 Sailing Committee have had a long discussion about what the format of our RNYC Points Series Double Race Days. The idea was that these events really do take up the whole day, and that may be a contributing factor in low turnouts of boats and crews.

The three considered options are:
1 - Maintain the status quo: a morning race, everybody comes back into the club for lunch, then heads back out into the bay for another race in the afternoon.
2 - Start at 10:30 (or even 10:00) and run two races back-to-back then head back to the bar where you can relax and not worry about another race.
3 - Start in the afternoon, so you can use the bar beforehand and run two races back-to-back.

There are pros and cons to each option, so we are consulting the members to see what the feeling is!

You can submit your response online through a simple web survey:

Or email your response to me at sailing@rnyc.org.uk

Responses by 4th February please!

Thanks

Carl & Sailing Comittee

We need volunteers to help us develop ideas and set everything in motion as time is moving on quickly. Ideally this will be similar to East Coast Sailing week last year but with fun in mind for all. This could include treasure hunts, cruiser racing over a few miles , winner takes all- dinghy sailing for those who haven't tried sailing before, fun trips up the river, food and music.

If you would like to help us organise this or have a great idea
to help make it a success, please contact Mike Wade]]> http://www.rnyc.org.uk/blog/index.php?entry=entry120120-151807
Yard Crews
We are looking to train volunteers as Hoist drivers or Banksmen who will direct the hoist whilst it is in motion in the yard. If you would like to join the team, ideally you should be available at any time, please contact in the first instance Mike Wade

It has therefore been decided to change the venue of the AGM, leaving the member who has their function arranged for that evening to use HY Tyne.

The AGM will now be held in the training room of Port Training Services, South Harbour, Blyth.

For those of you attending the AGM, please go to the Port Security barrier at South Harbour where production of your RNYC key fob should ensure your entry to the Port estate. Follow the road through the Port estate past the container park till you see the Main Port Offices on your left side. Turn into the car park just prior to the offices. Port Training Services is to the left at the back of the car park.

Signs will be erected in a bid to prevent you getting lost!

Following an electrical survey on the boat yard electrics it was found that some,not all,were in a dangerous condition.

Those that are proved to be unsafe have been disconnected and must not be reinstated.

There are notices in the affected ares,if you reconnect them you will be putting your health and others at risk.

Please take note.
