IRAN - A PHOTOGRAPHIC GLIMPSE BEHIND THE VEIL 


 
An opportunity to view life in Iran with a photographic presentation and chat by Bill Wallace following his visit to three cities in this fascinating country last year. It's likely to be the closest any of us will ever get to Iran so worth coming to see and hear!

TONIGHT - Wednesday 29th November -

in SJT at 8pm.


It promises to be an entertaining and enlightening experience!

         DEFIBRILLATOR AT BROADMEADOWS

Thanks to a small but very dedicated team, a CardiAid Defibrillator has been installed in the Broadmeadows clubhouse. The AED works very intuitively and first step is ring 999 or 112!

We will have a user checklist and a link to an instructional video available on the MYC website very soon. Training in the proper use of the defibrillator will be organised for all interested parties early in the New Year.

We are currently updating our database of instructors and coaches for 2018. If you wish to be considered for instructing or coaching work in MYC next year, please check out details and the application form and return it to our JAO Therese 

Along with your application form, please also include a one-page (max) sailing-centred CV focussing on:
  • sailing & general boating experience for the past 2 years and beyond
  • boats sailed, events participated in
  • other information about yourself that you consider relevant to the application.
The 59th A.G.M.
will take place
in 
St. James Terrace
on
14th December
at
20:00
The agenda will include a short presentation outlining the Strategic Plan for MYC 2018 - 2023. 
All members should receive notice of the AGM in the coming days. It is proposed that our membership rates remain unchanged for the coming year; indeed, our Family and Ordinary rates have not changed since the '00s whilst the rates for some other categories have decreased in recent years. 

However, we badly need to make major changes in our boat storage fees. As you can see from the graph below, our rates are well below what is available at other local clubs. Even our increased rate is still well below similar-sized clubs. We will also next year offer summer and winter rates to dinghies but will continue to offer our members year round storage for their dinghies, if required. We will also offer winter storage to a limited number of small cruisers in a separate area of the pen in BM.

ADVANCE WARNING: Any members who have not paid for boat storage in 2017 will have their boats removed from the dinghy pen in Broadmeadows in the coming weeks. As for any non-members who have not already removed their boats, well . . . . there gone too!

Do you think you have what it takes to win?  Or just fancy a laugh?  To kick off our festive season we’re hosting a Bumper Family Table Quiz at our St. James Terrace Clubhouse from 3-6pm. Questions for all ages and abilities! Come join us - fun for the whole family! Lots of prizes, lots of fun!
