Herne Bay Sailing Club

Hi all,

The re-vamp of the clubhouse is under way! As you know, we are planning to carry out some major works over this winter to extend the ladies' changing room and galley and refurbish the gear store. In addition, the lounge and corridors need a lick of paint and there are a number of other jobs that we need to do to get the clubhouse looking brighter and ready for the 2010 season.

The next work party is scheduled for this weekend (from 10.00 on each day), and if you have even a couple of hours to spare, please come down and lend a hand - there are jobs for everyone, young and old, skilled and unskilled!

If you can't make it this weekend, there are other work parties over the winter period (see the Christmas Splice for details), or please feel free to come down anytime and check out what work needs to be done from the list on the wall by the bar - just let us know what you would like to take on and we will supply the materials!

As those of you who were there will know, we were unable to complete the laying of the slipway on Saturday due to problems with the securing bars.

A huge vote of thanks is due to the team who struggled valiantly to overcome the problems, but who were eventually beaten by the tide - never has the saying "time and tide wait for no man" been more appropriate!

Work is now in hand to repair the offending bars, and the Sailing Committee have asked me to let you all know that the new date to complete the slipway laying has been set for 2nd April (Easter Friday), starting at 8.30. Please make every effort to be there, as we were short on numbers on Saturday. We need all the help we can get if we are to get the slipway laid in time for the Easter Bonnet Race in the afternoon of the 2nd.

This of course means that the Opening Splash race scheduled for the 28th March has had to be cancelled, and those rota'd for Race Office, Safety Boat and Galley duties should note this in particular. We will try to run the Easter Bonnet Race on the 2nd April but, as noted above, this will depend largely on getting enough helpers to lay the slipway in time.

On the brighter side, we will be running an alternative Slipway-Laying Supper on the evening of 2nd April, when Jane, Jeni, Steve and I will be running a "Spud-U-Like" evening, offering Jacket Potatoes with a variety of fillings - so come along and help out with the slipway laying to build up an appetite for the supper!

Look forward to seeing you then
