Our final winter info session and social gathering is Saturday, March 26th at the Newcastle Town Hall. The Club’s social committee has decided to take a different tack in planning our ‘social gathering’ after our ‘Sailing Better’ info session! We would like our members to be able to simply come and enjoy the day without the effort of bringing a potluck dish.

We are going to provide pizza, salads and desserts at a cost of $25/couple which will in part help the Club to offset the costs of renting the town hall for our sessionswould appreciate an RSVP email by March 24th. from those joining us for our pizza dinner and plase let us know what your favourite pizza toppings are too!!

We have also planned a ‘cruising south’ chat for the evening of March 26th cuz there seems to be some significant interest in doing this next winter. Several of our memhave chartered a boat and cruised south. Please bring your photos, maps, ‘research’ and most certainlyyour stories and tips to share over coffee and dessert. Contemplating a "friends flotilla" is a fun way to spend a winter's evening!
