WORKING BEES
On Sunday May 3, and Sunday May 10, the Club is holding two working
Bees to bring the Marina back to the shape it should be (Sunday, May 3
and Sunday, May 10). But we need your assistance.
Working Bees will commence at 9am through to 12pm with a free
sausage sizzle and drinks for the volunteers at 12pm.
If everyone volunteers a few hours each we can have this Marina back
in tip top shape in no time. Please volunteer some of your valuable
time for this great cause.
All enquires to Rear Commodore Pens and Moorings – Mr Hugh
Bamford; and Rear Commodore Power – Mr Givenchy Langer
NOTE TO ALL MEMBERS - BE WATER WISE!
We would like to take this opportunity to remind all members to be
water wise after we had a recent incident of a running hose retrieved
out of the water from one of the jetties. Please ensure you double
check all club equipment used.

The Club is pleased to offer a special slipping rate for the Winter Season. Now is a great time to take advantage of

THE CLUB NEEDS YOUR HELP
We need video evidence of large vessels such as Sunseekers, Ferries
etc. that are driving too fast and too close to our Club creating large
wakes which result in damage to our jetties and vessels moored in our
Marina. This is a safety issue as the wake created from these vessels
may cause someone on a moored vessel in our club to fall overboard, or
mooring lines to break causing the vessel to crash into other vessels
and jetties.
In order to ascertain a suitable solution, such as perhaps a speed limit
on vessels over a certain size, or an exclusion zone close to the club, we
need video evidence of the extreme wakes and potential damage that
these vessels cause. If you are on your vessel and you witness these
vessels speeding and creating large wakes close to our club, please
video them on your smart phones and send them to the General
Manager.
We will not be approaching any government bodies until we have had
feedback from our members and we have explored a number of
possible solutions.
FORMATION OF SUB-COMMITTEES
To take the Club forward into the future, the Committee is seeking to
establish a number of Sub-Committees comprised of Members.
Pens and Mooring Sub-Committee – Chaired by the Rear Commodore
Pens and Mooring. This committee will assist with the maintenance
and rectification of the Marina, as well as having a hand in the
development of new opportunities such as B Jetty and Protecting C, D,
E, and F Jetties. Contact Rear Commodore Pens and Moorings – Mr
Hugh Bamford.
Sailing and Regatta Sub-Committee – Chaired by the Rear Commodore
Regatta. This committee will look after all sailing and regatta activities,
as well as liaising with other clubs and creating more events. Approach
all sail members and engage them to become more involved and
active. Contact Rear Commodore Regatta – Mr Bob Freeth.
Power and Social Committee – Chaired by the Rear Commodore
Power. This committee will assist in engaging the members and
rebuilding the camaraderie that once existed. Social events and
functions should be a regular occurrence, along with regular working
bees. Contact Rear Commodore Power – Mr Givenchy Langer.
Please support your Club where it needs it most, your participation is
essential for the future of the Club.
