Mooloolaba Yacht Club is hosting its inaugural all-women regatta with organisers saying the regatta is integral to the club’s Women’s Skills Development program.
As a new initiative to keep our sailing club community informed I will aim to communicate through the Monthly Club Newsletter my top 5 topics for clubs to be aware of – LIVE TOP 5.
The emphasis of these FREE Instructor Conferences are to develop skills of both Instructors and Assistant Instructors and to update attendees on various aspects of the Discover Sailing program and changes among Australian Sailing.
Grant Willmott and Annie Watson will be looking after Queensland and Northern New South Wales Clubs in 2019 under the supervision of Regional Manager Ben Callard. Between them they have many years of experience in many different aspects of the sport of sailing. Grant and Annie will be working towards helping each Club to be the best they can be.
For those clubs in declared disaster areas due to the North and Far North Queensland Monsoon Trough, there is no need to worry about potential eligible members missing out on Get Started Vouchers.
Australian Sailing have been able to allocate some money received under a Queensland Government grant to provide discounts for Queensland clubs and members. The offer is strictly limited and will run until the end of 2019 or until the quota has been reached. Please see attached document for a list of the courses, the discount on offer, the discount code and the conditions.
Previously, it has been mentioned that the YQ Board would be proposing changes to the YQ Constitution, including changes to the section relating to fees. I now advise that this will not be taking place at this years AGM or upcoming General Meeting on the 30th October 2018.
Yachting Queensland will be conducting their second General Meeting for 2018 on the Sunday 29th July at Southport Yacht Club. The meeting will be held in conjunction with this year's 2018 Queensland Clubs Conference.
