End of season?
By now most of the cruisers and power boats are out of the water and safely tucked up in the yard.
David Pegg has taken over as Yardmaster and is trying to reorganise the parking to optimist the limited space on the yard.
Please try and give him every support possible.
The job of Yardmaster is one of the most difficult in the club, please try and make his task better by understanding that pleasing everyone all the time is not possible, but pleasing most of the people most of the time is achievable, but only with your co operation and understanding.
Any problems contact David either by email or mobile phone
Thanks

New Dinghy Instructors
The recent half term holidays gave the TBC awful weather and hopeless tides but two members of the Youth Squad were able to put their holiday time to good use by attending RYA Dinghy Instructor courses.
The courses which were a week long were held at the Pembrokeshite Activity Centre and I am delighted to report that both passed
Well done
Wyn Jones and Mathew Parsons,
and they were both out on the water yesterday, Saturday the 8th, in pretty grim conditions going through their paces

Annual General Meeting - Friday 25th October
This year's AGM was in October rather than November as on previous years.
This was allowed by the recent updating of the Constitution and will allow and extra month before the issue of the Year Book for 2009 for planning, also summer visitors from Patch and elsewhere were able to attend before the winter closes and they all return home.
Congratulations to Harry Ashurst and his wife Joyce on being elected Honorary Life Members of the TBC.
Congratulations also to Sue Schorah, retiring Rear Commodore of the Ladies Section, awarded the 'Club Person of the Year' shield for all her hard work not only over the last year but also many other years.
Changes to the Rules
Voted in by the membership at the AGM
(Full details available in the clubhouse; but briefly)
The 3 year rule relating to boats remaining in the yard and unused for 3 years is now the '2 year' rule reducing the period of time a boat can stay in the yard unused.
and
The introduction of a penalty charge for any boat that remains in the yard for any year without being used on the water.
For full details of these changes to the rules consult the copy of the Constitution on display on the notice board in the clubhouse

TBC 2008 Cruiser Championship
The Evans Cup for the overall cruiser Championship for 2008 was presented at the Laying up Dinner.
The overall winner was Islay owned by the TBC President Harry Ashurst.
Unfortunatly Harry was only able to skipper his yacht for the latter part of the season due to a hip operation, but Tony Duckworth stepped up from is normal foredeck responsibilities and took command pending Harry's recovery.
Harry was unable to attend the presention as sadly (ha ha) was on a sailing holiday in the Caribbean so Tony accepted the Trophey on his behalf.
Well done to the crew (and whoever captained) Islay

The future for TBC youngsters
Congratulations to both Eilish Thomas and Jonathan Morris who have both been reselected to train as part of the Welsh Topper Squad for the 2009 season.
Hanna Campbell sailing a Topper and William Thomas sailing the smaller 4.2 sail have both won places in the West Wales Regional Squad and will be training with the South Wales Squad through the winter.
Other members of the TBC Youth Squad will be attending Open Training sessions within the region and also specific Community Coaching sessions which will be based at the TBC.
Let us all hope that the winter is not too cold and this extra effort involving lots of travelling for parents prepares our youngsters for the 2009 season.

RYA Youth Zone Championships
The RYA Youth Zone Championships were held at Pwllheli on the weekend of the 27th/28th September.
Five young sailors travelled from the TBC to compete in a fleet of 67 boats from both near and far.
Eilish Thomas and Jonathan Morris our National Squad sailors finished in the top ten of the Topper competition and Hanna Campbell came 12th and won the prize for being the highest placed sailor new to this level of competition.
William Thomas won the trophy for the first Topper with the 4.2/reduced sailad Harry Upton sailing in an Optimist sailed particularly well beating some of the sailors selected to sail for Wales in his class.
So TBC youngsters returned with two trophies and two finishes in the top ten.
Well done
