Let’s make
2009 a successful year for our group by
endeavoring to meet the following New Year
Resolutions that I have made on your behalf!
- To re-establish this group within our club.
- To meet regularly and at which time provide
sailing skills & information, technical advice,
safety skills & knowledge, and to obtain from
our more experienced yachtsmen & women
(within the club ) accounts of their
experiences at sea.
· To establish a vibrant committee that will
provide enthusiasm and input into creating a
very well run and organized “group” within our
club.
Late last year a “cruising questionnaire” was sent
to all club members asking for feedback to
several questions posed relating to this group’s
future. From the information received, we have
collated the following to be discussed at our next
few meetings:
- Experiences from other club members related back to this group.
- Technical information
- Safe Entry / Exit at Port Philip Heads
- Bass Strait Navigation
- Self sufficiency at sea
- Guest speakers—Police, Bay Pilots, etc.
What members want from the group:
- Regular meetings—occasional meals, but mainly with supper
- An organised group and regular activities
- Sailing in company of others
- Regular cruises
- A Bass Strait cruise in company—January 2010???
- Recognition that we are not ALL into racing from the Club
We have had little response to organising
“competent crew” instruction for ladies only.
Please put the following dates in your diary. Each
meeting will go approximately 2hrs and includes
supper:
- 25 August 7.30 pm.
