Great North Run: Runners / Helpers Wanted 15th September

Every year the Club has held a post run barbque on the day of the Great North Run on behalf of the Susan Channon Breast Cancer Trust. Our Commodore, Paul Cook has agreed that the Club can be used again this year on Sunday 15th September.

In the past a number of Club members have helped out by manning the rescue boat (which is used to ferry runners from South Shields) and by assisting in the galley or driving people from the drop off point to the sailing club. If anyone would like to help this year, please let us know.

If anyone wants to run the race for the charity, the Trust has a few places available, please contact John Griffith at jcmgriffith at  hotmail.co.uk  or Paul Cook for further information.

Sailing tomorrow, Sunday 9th June

As the forecast conditions look kind, there will be some rescue cover spare from the RYA 1 course so you will have some cover for cruising provided you don’t stray too far. No racing though.

Lasers at Cragside

What an interesting day I’ve had – helping Wolfgang install 3 modified lasers onto the top lake as part of Cragside’s 150th birthday celebrations. The photos reproduced on the sails are from Armstrongs work on electric discharge patterns. There is a plan to get a few people from the club up-to Cragside 31st August for a sail as well. Anyone interested please talk to Wolfgang who has the details.

Anyone up for opening a book on how often they need attention during the 6 months planned for them to stay there?

Photos from Wednesday Night Racing

Lot of boats out tonight for joint TSC & SSSC racing – including a biggun’ that got in the way of the racing – how rude! So, here are your photos, for a night when the start was completely becalmed – then he wind picked up. Sunshine, clouds… 4 seasons in one evening…

If you can help with any of these please advise Ian Ainsworth or any member of Sailing Committee

Enterprise Wanted/Crews/Wednesday starts

1. We have new member seeking an Enterprise. Contact Mike or Ian if you have a decent one you are thinking of selling.
2. I have a couple of names of people wishing to crew, please let me know if you want details.
3. Wednesday turnouts have not been sufficient to justify a separate start, so Ents may get put in with the Slow Handicap fleet. Watch the flags!

Race Officer Training

To be successful running races, you need people that know what they are doing. On a glorious Saturday in late April, a small group from Tynemouth Sailing Club set out from Royal Quays to find out how it’s done. Flags, buoys, anchors,  wind, timing, results…..all covered in detail by Mike.
