Ask yourself – why don’t more people sail? We all enjoy sailing in big fleets yet all too often just a few take to the water. We would really like to see people talking to each other this year to encourage more boats in getting out, if you need crew put your request up on the white board by the back door, if you want to crew also get your name down. Remember we were all new sailors once upon a time and find ourselves needing crew or a ride so please get the dialogue going and make sure we get as many boats out as possible. Any ideas on this subject would be welcomed. Richard Hall has done a great job with the new sailors by getting them in touch with each other. The experienced club sailors could do more to encourage our new members and help then with the transition form novice to club racer.

Do keep your eyes open with new messages on the club notice boards, a lot of new information is going to be displayed to help keep everyone informed, there will also be lists to sign up for items such as rib cover for other club events, coach trip to Chatham Docks and upcoming social events. Remember there is the suggestion box for ideas to be posted too please.
