very busy and that car parking will be at a premium; all the more so this year so my annual reminder to members about car parking has greater significance than usual. Please respect the requirements of the Club and of the competitors during the event. Car parking areas will be used for boat rigging and storage. For any members going away and planning to leave their vehicles on the club grounds, it is mandatory that vehicles be parked in the southern car park closest to the entry/exit gate. Tailers are to be stored in their allotted bays and members who have ramp access need to return trailer to their homes. They can not be left on the grounds if you are away. Daily launching trailer storage will be on the Goolugatup Heathcote land. Please be aware that vehicles/trailers that impede or disrupt the regatta requirements may be moved. On the topic of vehicles, the entry gate and exit gates have been severely damaged on a number of occasions since March. The most recent “bashing” by a car occurred at about 8am on November 7 by a woman driving a silver Audi. We have appealed for the driver to come forward without success. The vehicle registration number, 1GLF053, was included in Coffee Pointers and has been provided to our insurers. The driver can avoid being embarrassed by a knock on their door by coming and speaking to the Club. On a brighter note, on behalf of the staff we wish you a safe and happy Christmas New Year break on and off the water.

ost of you have probably aware that some of us have been getting ready to celebrate another milestone for the club. Its 75th Year of operation. We launched the club’s 75th Sailing season in October to get the party started. Our Archive Research Team (ART) of Amanda, Cally, Bernie and Rick, have been ferreting through the club’s records, talking to past
and present members, gathering stories, finding long lost photos and collating them to display them on story boards throughout the club. And some of the ‘merch’ has also arrived with our specially designed 75th anniversary logo on it, thanks to Cally Browning. But there’s much more to come. So mark your Calendar - here’s just a hint of what’s being planned:
January 4 ~ 14 The Ron Tough Foundation in conjunction with the South of Perth Yacht Club presents the Goolugatup Sailing Carnival February 13 75th Anniversary Celebrations – fireworks, birthday cake and cocktails February 14
The Old Salts Reunion – for past members
March 12
Convicted Tastes – Wine Makers dinner
April

May 9
Mother’s Day – Pamper Party

So – dust off your party shoes, sort out your party frocks, and get ready … It’s going to be a fun-filled year! Vikki Baldwin Chair, Functions
