All members are invited to attend the AGM on the 24th Oct
Various Officer and Management Committee positions we need to be filled to guarentee the continued smooth running of the TBC and you are all asked to consider yourselves for vacant posts.
The Hon Treasurer will be retiring after fours years and this is a vital post.
Many organisations have had to resort to paid book keepers to full fill this role and the TBC will be in a similar situation if no volunteer is forthcoming.
The role requires time and enthusiasm, but no technical background - assistance and training will be given to anyone prepared to undertake this rewarding role.
All nominations to be forwarded to the Hon Secretary or attend your Section meeting and discuss with other members

Tresaith Passage Race - 2nd August
Seven boats sailed up to Tresaith with a brisk following wind
Results - in order
Islay - Tony and Patrick
Pascanale - Alan and Chris Cooper
Jigsaw - Roy, Steve and Andy
Dulcibella - Team Hill
Gwendon - Family Thresh
Mor Righ - Terry and son
The Parsons brothers in their RS Feva sort to partake in the Dinghy Regatta but even with the includion of Dad -Huw, the conditions were considered to be 'boat breaking' rather than just 'challenging' and sense rather than valour prevailed- although Mathew did get a belated bash round the course in a Hurricane (Catamaran rather than storm) later

Junior Sailing - Tues 5th - Fri 8th August
Twenty youngsters turned up on the Tuesday.
Light winds and naturally RAIN saw much 'tacking' and 'avoiding of collisions' in the river by the club slipway everyone had a turn and everyone had a smile on their face by the end of the session.
Great fun was had by all and those didn't get wet from the river got wet from the rain
Wednesday - Twenty Five youngsters turned up to a howling gale
Too windy for novices so experienced sailors took novices out for a sail - all the novices had a go on the tiller and not all the experienced sailors, who by this time had become crew, got a soaking.
The session ended with two teams on Picos with furled sails racing against each other - any means of propulsion allowed (I forget who won)
Thursday - The sun shone and a lot of drifting and an introduction to Gybing was experienced
Friday - The Optimist fleet under the supervision of John Leigh enjoyed a final session honing their newly aquired skills.
The Toppers and Picos raced - initially two up and then six laps of a triangular course taking turns to sail the boats single handed. All had to come alongside the Safety Boat to change crews and many of the change overs were a bit manic.
In the end the tide beat us all and most of us walked our boats through the ever softer sand to the slipway.
A great week was had by all - many thanks to the members who volunteered their time to help out and make the sessions as much fun as they were.

Open Day on July 26th
Lovely to see as many people as there were turn up to find out what was going on and to sample the kitchen fare.
Thanks to the Ladies committee who worked so hard and for such long hours (and made so much money for the club)
Try a Sail - open to youngsters between the age of 8 and 16 proved to be a great success with many enjoying their first experince of sailing under the careful tuition of Emma Thomas and Annie Thomas - many turned up on the following day to build on their new found skills and new memberships have been applied for.
This was a good day for the TBC and great to see so much activity both on and off the water
