RIP Ashley Brandt

1 January 2012

It is with great sadness to advise that a long standing member of ABYC, a good sailor and a very good friend of many, passed away at sea in the early hours of this morning. At the time Ashley was crewing on the yacht Cameron which was returning to PE after aborting a relocation trip to Cape Town.

Ashley’s partner Suzie has requested that his friends and those that knew him get together tomorrow (2 January 2012) at 13h00 at ABYC to bid him farewell and pay their last respect.

Ashley Brandt
He came in peace, Now Rest in Peace, Ashley.

New ABYC T-Shirts

22 November 2011

You may have noticed our esteemed bar stuff wearing some snazzy new T-Shirts.

Of course, if you are anything like me you wouldn’t have enquired after snagging yourself a shirt or two – a man has to concentrate on the delights of a certain golden brew you know!

Ordering a shirt or two is easy enough, though:

  1. Ask your favourite tipple deliverer for one to fit for size,
  2. Place order on list in bar or at office,
  3. PAY,
  4. Cut off is 30 November,
  5. Wait 10 days for delivery,
  6. Wear with PRIDE.
