Willis Sails Winter Series Race 3

After a week of wind and rain the weather Gods turned it on for us last Sunday for race 3 of the Willis Sails Winter Series. A Northerly of 8-10 kts saw the fleet sail out around the Black Rocks and across to Motuterakihi Islands, back to Caters, Northerns and on to the finish. On the way out to the Black Rock we sailed by the Kerikeri racing fleet. A big thanks to Simon for helping with OOD duties.

AGM Take II- Sunday July 10 at 4:30pm

Due to being unable to achieve our required quorum last week, we will be meeting again this Sunday. This time under our club rules there is no quorum requirement but we still need as many members at the meeting as possible. 

We expect this meeting to be shorter than last Sunday’s as several agenda items have already been covered.

We urgently need new Committee members. If you have some time, energy and commitment to support this great Club, please step up.

Roles needing to be filled are: Vice Commodore, Secretary, Treasurer, Club Captain and General Committee members. Nomination forms can be completed at the Club.

All the information you require (refreshed Agenda, Minutes from 2021, Financials 2021) will be sent out again shortly.

The Club Bar and Restaurant will open directly after the AGM for socialising, catching up and congratulating new Committee members, then Open Mic Night will continue the festivities. Hope to see you there!
