RMYS Juniors:
Back into the regular Sunday training. Patrick Walby has been employed as the Junior Coordinator and we look forward to the changes he is planning to make that will make our program even better. This Sunday they took all 4 Quests out and in shifty winds they had a challenging but fun morning on the water. We are always looking at growing this fleet and if you know anyone that has kids 11+ in age that would like to get involved please make contact with Colin in the office.

Volunteers: help is still need
We have a core group that do the heavy lifting. A successful club relies heavily on its members to help out. This is call out for more of you to take up the challenge of running races. Its fun rewarding and not that difficult. Put your hand up to do sometime in the tower or on the water and learn the ropes with the aim of getting your club Race Officer qualification. You will be under the watch eye of some very qualified and experienced volunteers and RO’s so you will be in great hand . So it does not matter water membership category you hold be it social, Sailing, Senior or junior join in
Any question please email Colin on boating@rmys.com.au
Regards
Colin
