Dear All,
This is just a reminder that our first club race is on Sunday. The weather forecast looks good with sunshine shown all day, relatively warm temperature and a light easterly breeze so charge your batteries and come out for an enjoyable sail – quite a change from the freezing cold snow at the BRASS MONKEY a month ago!
I hope that you have all been looking at the GMYC website which Mark has updated over the Christmas period it is now looking very good, with pictures in between paragraphs etc in the reports. In reporting Guildford’s activities to the District Councillor, I have been more upbeat than usual, praising the good things about our club and our lake, which is still one of the best lakes in the district. This report was copied to all M&S club secretaries, so the hope is to encourage more M sailors to come and sail with us.  There is also an updated PDF publicity sheet for 2018, which is also more upbeat and which you could copy at A5 for handing to those who pass our activity and show interest. Many thanks Mark!
Rob Vice has affiliated via GMYC this year and this is very welcome and other member news is that Paul Tickner has borrowed Peter Dunne’s CRAZY TUBE and we may see him at Abbey Meads, probably at the new summertime After Lunch Events (ALE), but hopefully at some of our Sunday events. See the club website for dates etc.
I am hoping to have my latest design UP ready to launch on Sunday, but am struggling with the time left and transoms sticking in the new moulds………..
Cheers,  Roger
