7th / 8th July

Advertising:- Robert sorting, Brian can print if required.

Welcoming team :- Friday Evening / Saturday morning. Robert Saturday Evening, Simon when he can! Others welcome to assist.

Start time :- 10.45hrs Saturday..ish!

Expect perhaps 35 boats = 70 crew? = 100 people to cater for?

Race Organisation :- Steve chapman, Paul Norris, Dave Whitmore, Jasper Barnham, etc. appears well manned. Check nearer the time.

Si`s and Entries :- 2007 Ukida Si`s to Colin for him to edit. Entry forms to organise. John Cullum has agreed to take entries. Thanks John!

Prizes :- Colin arranging.

Catering :-

Breakfasts :- Laura asked to speak to her dad Roy about it. Get reply this week-end. Supplies for boats to be available from behind the bar :- Mars, Water, Drinks, Fruit etc. Anne B. can you organise that!…….ta!   ;)

Day Time Catering :- Organisation yet to be done, People needed, must be simple but well organised to reduce workload on individuals. Ask Norman if he can supply Rolls, Pasties, Apple Pie etc. We need a willing organiser for this roll!

Saturday Evening :- Dee to head team of people yet to be organised . A roast and a Lasangia talked about! you wern`t at the meeting but I hope thats OK with you Dee!………..Ta again ;))

Entertainment :- Anne B. asking John Large about band. John Talking to Steve about another group.

Records :- Keep all records of stuff ordered, used, wasted, so that we can easily arrange catering etc. for next year. Give records to me!

This is just a start, not organised yet! Catering is the problem as I see it, if we can get some more volunteers we can organise and refine, ………….any takers as organiser!!! , any volunteer names for helpers?

Lets keep the momentum for the next couple of weeks and bottom out the organisation, we don`t want this to drag on to the event!

……….and finally thanks for the fantastic response last Saturday at Roberts place, ands lets try to make this as easy as possible!

P.S. nice sunset tonight!

SBSC Open day : Sat 23rd June

29/05/2007 by Col.

Tim Coleman is working on an idea for an open day at the beach on the 23rd June. It’s an ideal day with a tide in the midday area. The plan is to advertise locally and give us an opportunity to invite friends to come and try out sailing, have a day at the beach, enjoy the social scene, a BYOF BBQ and see what our club is all about.
Unfortunately I’m going to be away that weekend but would you be interested in taking part and giving up racing to give people a taster? The success of such an event will depend on the weather but it could be a good day and hopefully gain some new members and potential crews.
Please leave a reply if you wish to take part and give us your ideas on how to advertise and attract people that may come back and get into sailing.

23/05/2007 by John.

I`ll be about most of the week-end and will attend discussions about the Dart open, Roberts place sounds like the best bet to me!, unfortunatly I`m unlikly to sail as my back has collapsed again!!!

The Dart Open

22/05/2007 by John.

To who sail dart @ Snetbeach!

The Dart Open is upon us 7th/8th July, about 6 weeks time!!! I am asuming that so far, nothing has been organised! I can`t think of any individual who would be willing to take on the role of organiser, but it needs to be done!. I cannot but my hand up as I will be heavily involved in the commisioning and start-up of a new plant at my works, and I will not have a minute (can`t even attend the open!)

I propose that everybody involved with Dart sailing at the beach do a little bit to help make it happen!!!………………..I think thats the best way probably for this year!

Areas needing attention are:-

Race Organisation & Rescue boat cover, Sailing Instructions, Prizes, Catering including the Bar, Entertainment……………..cant think of anything else at the moment!

If individuals are willing to take on a slice of the work, I think I could perhaps manage to do this bit, ie ensure we`ve got all the corners covered!…however I cannot do any of the WORK!

I`m sure that Jean Ann won`t mind if I mention that Dave will be postumously presented an award for his services and support of the Dart cause at the Nationals this week-end…….this partly why I`m writing this E-mail……..we should be doing our bit too!!!

Could you all make sure that everybody in the Fleet gets this e-mail.

Perhaps we could have a plan together for the week-end.

Thanks,

John

Outdated?

13/05/2007 by Col.

You may have already seen this debate on the dart18 chat page but if not it’s worth a read.

See dart18 > Chat > Outdated?

I don’t think the changes would make much difference compared to some of the modern cats but what else could we sail at Snet for the price of a dart?

Do I really need a trampoline?

11/05/2007 by Col.

I’ve been told my new trampoline will arrive today but no sign of it yet. I guess this does effect sailing for us this weekend but there is also the Lionel Wilkinson open meeting so is anyone doing OOD etc or are you racing? (Did you see how I worked in the usual question, did you see it coming?)
I’m also not sure if I’ll do both days. The forecast is not great, Saturday looking less wet than Sunday so I may just do Saturday.

Decided not to sail as it’s too windy for single handed people. :(

News update - :) Go faster trampoline has arrived! did I order the right one?

MAYDAY MAYDAY MAYDAY

01/05/2007 by Col.

Not a phrase you want to use but on this occasion it means we can sail Saturday, Sunday and Monday.

Unfortunately it’s 08:00 starts with an extra 15 minutes sleep on Monday (Kirkland cup), but this gives you the rest of the day to do something else.  I hope to do all three days but haven’t got a 100% clearance for Saturday yet so I’ll confirm this later in the week. Sun & Mon only. See you in the bar Saturday night. Col.

Who’s playing?
