Berths Day 11 December 2011
I would like to thank the 10 people who braved the wet and unpleasant conditions to help out on the ‘berths day’. They did a great job; getting the rescue boats and longliner off the water and preparing them for the winter, creating new berths, digging and laying a very long drainage trench that will stop a large number of berths from being swamped. It seems a shame that when the club responds to the members requests to improve the facilities, those members are unable to attend and help. The 10 people plus myself make up less than 10% of the full members within the club and about 3% of all members. It would be nice one working party day if we had 25% of full members attending. Our club would benefit and we as members would also benefit as the facilities, both sailing and social, would be well maintained and improved.
On another note I would like to thank all those who turned up for their O.O.D duties , those who did more than their own, all those who are involved in the record keeping, to those who gave up their time to help with the training both juniors and seniors. Without your help many of those young people who are now in zone squads or on the fringe would not have progressed so far. To all of you a very big thank you. I hope that you have a great Christmas and I look forward to seeing you all in the new season.
