[Sailingclub] Tuesday Twilights start tomorrow and I need to know if you're planning to turn up

[Adam Leavesley]

>Dear Sail Clubbies,

Twilight sailing skills courses and race training 
run by the YMCA Sailing Club starts this Tuesday 
21 November (full details from the instructor below).

Having just completed a beginners course with 
ANUSC, the next step in your Olympic gold medal 
campaign is to come along to this. I went last 
year and it's great. The instructor is really a 
gun and even just to see how good a person can be 
at handling a dinghy is motivational.

This year we need to cover costs, which are not 
high but nonetheless need covering.

You've got two options:

1. Season ticket for $30. This gets you 18 
sessions from 21 November to 27 March (with a 
short gap over Xmas), including first option on a club boat.
2. Casual attendance for $5 to be paid to myself 
or Claire Fraser on the day - you take your 
chances getting a boat after the season ticket holders.

Places are limited by the number of boats, so if 
you want to do this get back to me asap. NB On 
Twilight Tuesdays people with a season ticket 
have priority for a boat, followed by people who 
are attending the session casually and then after 
6pm any left over boats are open to members for general use.

I'm not sure how I'm going to decide who gets to 
sail if we have more takers than boats, but I'll 
cross that hurdle when I come to it if need be. 
Needless to say the sooner you get back to me the 
better. Call if you've got any questions: 6125 2619.

Cheers, Adam Leavesley and Claire Fraser
