WHATS COMING SOON
Takers Coordinator
Sandy Bay Sailing Club is looking for a sail training centre leader to implement the Yachting Australia Tackers Program.
The position will require an enthusiastic and organised person with great communication skills and a willingness for working with children. Experience in sailing or water based activities, teaching or coaching will be advantageous.
The position is on a casual basis with the ability to grow the program to providing regular employment. The position will require afterschool, weekend and school holiday work.
Expressions of interest to be submitted to The Commodore, SBSC, PO Box 56, Sandy Bay 7006, by Friday 18th May.
Early Bird Registration Day – Sat 19 May – Save on Annual Club Memberships
As announced on the Prize Night, stage one of the clubhouse renovations works will commence in mid June. Building works will include upgrading the boys and girls toilets, showers and change rooms. This will greatly improve the standard of facilities offered to our members.
To support these efforts, this year the SBSC Committee has decided to hold an Early Bird Club Registration Day on Saturday 19 May to assist the SBSC to self fund the clubhouse renovations.
There is no obligation to pay your subscriptions by the 19 May. However, by doing so you will be:
· assisting our club to self-fund stage one of the building redevelopment, and save our club from potentially incurring overdraft fees;
· reducing the workload on the SBSC committee during the busy period leading-up to the hosting three major regatta’s; and
· saving yourself money by avoiding the planned club membership fee increases. From June 2012 the club will be registering for GST, and as a result, club membership subscriptions will increase by $10% across the board.
The Committee is hoping that at least a third of members will be in a position to support the Club by renewing their club memberships on or before 19 May.
Membership registrations forms will be available on the day, or from the SBSC website from mid next week. Further details will be posted in next week’s Blinking Billy. Payments can be accepted by; cash, cheque, credit card, or through bank transfers.
The membership registration desk will be open at the Clubhouse between 1.30 – 4.00pm on Saturday 19 May. If you have any questions or queries please feel free to contact Ben on: ben.galbraith@g-f.com.au .
AGM 22 June
The SBSC Annual General Meeting will be held at 6.30pm on 22 June 2012 at the clubhouse. All members are invited to attend, and drinks and nibbles will be served.
