Much fun was had by all and thanks to the massive effort put in by Todd and Kristy organising and running the event, the club has raised in excess of $3200. This evening was a huge success! Here’s a picture from the night…
=== From The Commodore ===
Opening Day was a great pleasure with a large number of invited guests, and the largest fleet of boats sailing that we have seen for several years on Opening Day. A big thank you is due to the many volunteers who helped with making the Opening Day a great success. Particular mentions need to be made of Peter and Trita Agar for once again acting as our Officers of the Day and MC and the many families that assisted with catering for the afternoon tea. Thank you also to the Flag Officers and Committee for their efforts.
Our new Basic Skills training course has commenced with 12 new participants and one carry over from the last course. It is great to see that every one of the clubs training boats is being utilised for the training course, and also that the club Flying Ant has been getting used by enthusiastic juniors.
We do still have a challenge ahead to keep working on numbers for all of our sailing sections, and we need our sailors to be encouraging their friends and acquaintances to come and join us. Membership forms and fees have been slowly trickling in and we do need to keep reminding our members and past members to please complete this formality as soon as possible.

The fund raising Quiz Night was a fantastic success and a big thankyou is owed to Todd and Kristy for their great work on this. The night raised over $3200 for the club!
Our next big challenge as a club is the Minnow State Championships which we are scheduled to host over the Labour Day long weekend in 2012. There is much work needed to be done in preparation and I encourage the membership to get behind this event and assist where they can.
