Volunteers update.

This year SYC volunteers missed out on toasting the National Volunteers Week on the 18th to 24th May. However, I’am sure you all appreciated the work by the huge number of volunteers throughout Australia over the past couple of months with drought, bush fires and now the pandemic, who generously volunteered their time to support the needy during these months.

Good news has come through that the annual Sydney to Gold Coast Yachting Classic has been re-scheduled for October 2020. A roster will be despatched in late August to those who have volunteered in previous years for the radio room, RIB skippers and crews. It’s good to see the sailors getting ready for mid-week competitive racing for wednesday Twilights at Hollywell, and thursday Twilights out of Main Beach. The Saturday and Sunday racing calendar at Hollywell will be put up on the Team-app website with volunteer numbers required for each event.

Thank you all for your input prior to our shut-down, oursailingstafflookforward to catching up with you on your return as our Club’s Volunteers. You are all an important part of these events for the new program of racing for 2020-2021. Any new members wanting to volunteer you are always welcome by contacting Main Beach Reception 5591-3500.

Some Salty tales. “At the top of the mast is a crow’s nest. Thats where you collect eggs for the Skippers breakfast.” ————— “The ship has a list to Starboard.” “The Third-engineer has just put more load on the Starboard Generator.”
