The Halyard 5th November

5 November 2012

A message from the Club President:

Welcome to the new Halyard
Welcome to this first edition of our Weekly Bulletin. Before saying anything else, on behalf of all of us – thank you Hilary for volunteering to compile it for us.

It is essential to the Club’s wellbeing that we communicate with each other as much as possible. To this end the intention of this bulletin is to keep all of us in touch with the events of our club. Results of the previous week’s sailing etc and more important the events coming up; sailing, social, meetings and any other notices. The intention is to keep it to the point, quick and easy reading, and informative.

I hope that you find the bulletin useful and that it helps to bring us all closer together, especially in sailing.

Chris Grylls
