Menai Strait Regattas - Chairman's letter

 

 

Dear Friends,

We normally drop you a line at this time of year to wish you a merry Christmas and all the best for the New Year.

This is my first opportunity to contact you as the new Chairman of the Menai Strait Regatta Committee. I must go on record to thank Mike and Trish Butterfield for all their hard work over the past years; Mike has been appointed our President so we will not lose his expertise. We have also appointed a new Regatta Secretary David Challinor from Red Wharf Bay SC; we welcome him to the team.

When you think of 2009, I hope you will again include The Menai Strait Regatta in your plans. The web pages have been updated to give you the dates and the provisional start times to assist in your planning.

This year you will have noticed that the racing starts on Sunday and finishes on the Friday of the second week, prize giving will now be held on the last Friday evening giving you the opportunity to attend. Those of you who had checked into your accommodation on the Friday and did not otherwise race till Monday had requested this.

I am looking into whether we can this year have some additional open social events, one in the centre and possibly one at the end of the fortnight.

Any ideas (and offers of help) can be passed to me directly or via your club or class representatives.

I look forward to us all gathering again, it will soon be August!!
 

 

The Family Regatta
Your regatta depends on the entry of you, your friends and family. We look forward to welcoming you again. To improve your regatta, why not ask extra boats (and friends) from your fleet to sail with us.
We all look forward to your company again.
It's a great place to make and renew friendships.

A splendid RMYC 51st Beaumaris Regatta

by Geoff Topp

A most successful 51st RMYC Regatta was held at Beaumaris in the Menai Strait Regattas series on Thursday 14th August 2008.

With a strong breeze from the South and in gloriously fine weather a worthy assortment of Classes lined up off Beaumaris. The Classes included Falcons, Stars, Hilbres, MSOD's, Mylnes, Squibs, Fifes, Dinghies and Toppers. Everybody had a testing but enjoyable sail which provided a grand sight for all the onlookers.

Please visit the club website www.royalmersey.co.uk/gallery/ for more gallery pictures of the day
