Welcome to the Trearddur Bay Sailing Club.

Happy New Year to all our members! It was wonderful to see so many of the membership enjoying some classic wet and windy Trearddur weather over the Christmas period! With the start of the New Year, our sight is firmly set on our 2012 Olympic Season. We hope to have a really memorable season with a few Olympic themed events including the ball and an Olympic race. Look out for more details in the newsletter. Once again Annabel Edwards is beavering away producing an irresistible collection of Trearddur Bay themed fashion. Be ahead of the pack and make sure you get your orders in at the Easter Social! You will be delighted to hear that your sub notices will be dropping on your door mats soon. The good news is that we have managed to keep subs flat for the third successive year. Please help our cash flow and avoid unnecessary chasing by paying these promptly. Prior to the newsletter arriving here are some dates for your diary: Diamond Jubilee barbecue on the dinghy park Monday 4th June Start of Season and 1st Cup Race. Saturday, 28th July afternoon race The Ball Saturday 11th August.

News about the TBSC Ball 2012

As Alistair mentions below, Tors Bird and her committee are planning the Biennial Ball. This will be a Black Tie event with a hint of Olympics, staged in a marquee in the Bay on Saturday 11th August, 2012.

We want to keep the ticket prices down to a minimum, so are looking for help with the following:

- volunteers to man the bar, the car park and to act as security

- sponsorship to fund printing of tickets, menus etc (logos can be added to the artwork for the more generous donors!)

- donation of gifts for the 'Olive Tree of Goodwill', our alternative to a raffle

Please contact Pippa on pippadavis1@gmail.com if you would like to be involved in helping this become a night to remember for all our club members."

Volunteers - as always the Club needs as many members as possible to volunteer to share the duties during the season. You can volunteer by contacting the relevant person directly, by filling in the forms in the newsletter (which will be with you in early April) or email the person concerned with your availbility.
