MEMBERSHIP MATTERS
The festive season is here already. Wishing all members and friends a safe and enjoyable Xmas and New Year.
While most national competition has been cancelled this year due to uncertainty with travel, there is still plenty of
activity locally for our on water fleets and so much to be part of socially at the Club.
Since the last edition we’ve celebrated our 124th Sailing Season with a fun filled Opening Day, welcomed some
great new members and hosted two major sailing events, offshore and on the river.
Wonderful to see the Club so vibrant and many people enjoying the social activities. We continue to welcome a
healthy number of new members to the Club. Thank you to the members who have been spreading the word and
welcoming new people to our friendly community.
All the best for the festive season, wishing you a very happy 2021.
