Welcome to the Trearddur Bay Sailing Club.

The 2011 season provided a winning cocktail of some fantastic racing in a variety of conditions combined with some great social events. It is the wholehearted participation of so many of the members that makes a summer in Trearddur so memorable and for this, on behalf of all the committee, thank you.

However, no sooner are the boats put away than thoughts turn to the forthcoming season. The November committee meeting is shortly upon us and with that, planning for 2012 begins in earnest.

Olympic year will be very special for the whole country and we need to think how we celebrate it in Trearddur Bay. Should we have some special races, or can we incorporate some of the big events into drinks whilst viewing on a screen at the boatyard? If you have any thoughts on how we can best include the London Olympics into our season, please get in touch with any of the flag officers.

The feedback on the events at the boatyard has been very positive and we will be looking to consolidate the changes we have made next season rather than planning any major changes for the coming season. As always, any suggestions for how we can improve the events are very welcome. Now we have our very own outdoor stage, we are expecting great things on the entertainment front from the different classes; get planning now!

One of the committee's priorities over the winter is to review the club's communication strategy with our members. How can we get information to members in a more convenient format making better use of the website, social media and webcams whilst retaining the traditional club books which are so much part of our history? If any members have any thoughts on this, please get in touch with Deborah Morrissey.

We are already looking forward to the biennial ball in 2012. Planning is well under way and Tors Bird and her committee have been working hard and coming up with lots of great ideas to make sure this will be a night to be remembered. It is sure to be popular; make sure you book your tickets early to avoid disappointment.

Winter well and I look forward to seeing many of you over the winter months in Trearddur Bay.

Alastair Rimmer

You may be aware that the British Government are planning to cut the UK Coastguard budget. The severity of the cuts will result in significant reduction in the level of lifesaving cover that we enjoy while sailing in many other of UK waters. A petition has been set up to oppose these cuts and deserves the support of anyone who sails in UK waters.
