Renforth Boat Club

A walk through the yard<<<<<<click this for a little video

I arrived at “SV Action Plan” this morning to find that my hatch was open. Thinking back to the evening news last evening I remembered an item that talked about how we start to loose brain function and memory after the age of 40. I began to identify with that story. In the midst of wracking my brain to remember why I would have left the hatch open I noticed that the lock was still actually on the hasp. The hasp in its entirety was still on the hatch…. On the floor of the cockpit. It was only the that I realized that I had indeed been vandelized. Only thing missing seems to be the flare gun with most of its long expired flares. I called the police and they took a statement. It looks like at least one other boat has its hatch open. Please check your boats and report anything missing to the police.

Happy New Year

Join us at noon for finger food, drinks and fun.

For further details give Gary Jones a call

See you there!

The day of our Christmas party I put my Christmas poem on the website.    A club south of the boarder saw it and asked for permission to publish it in their monthly newsletter.  Here is a link to their site.    The publication is called the “Rag- Pot”   I suspect this is a combination of the rather derogatory names that sailboaters call power boats and vice versa.   Rag Hangers and Stink Pots!

Hello Fellow Boaters,

There will be an executive meeting on December 20, 2011.  Everyone is encouraged to attend.

Cheers! Andrew

The Boats are all wrapped

The bilges all drained

There are stands and cribwork

all secure and maintained

Cushions and tea cups

Wine glasses  and sunscreen

all put away waiting for sunshine,

and a first mate to obey.

But now the days are short

The nights are long

there will be ice in the harbour

and fishing shacks to put on.

Some boats have gone

Others are new.

Some captains and Mates

Have found their shores too.

The season of Advent

is here right now

It is the count down to christmas

and remembrance of just how

It’s a season for the giving of thanks

And the pondering life

It is a time to end hunger,

violence and strife.

This is the day

and this is the hour

When God himself

made his advisory cower

He walked in our midst

He traveled our roads

He sailed our great ships

And he listened up close

He shared with us

his thoughts and his heart

He modeled a life

that he could impart.

Jesus a saviour

A fishermen’s friend

Stands in our midst

on this night once again.

Hello Fellow Boaters,

At the last executive meeting a motion was put to the floor to create a committee to look at the constitutional by-laws to see where changes need to be made so as to bring them up to acceptable standards and 2012.  Please e-mail the club secretary if you are interested in participating in this important endeavour.

Cheers! Andrew

Dear fellow boat club members

Due to the almost total absence of fellow club members on
our Friday nite “Happy Hour” gatherings, we would like to remove our names from
being the spearheaders of this function.

However, if there are those who are gathering (at least 4)
call us and we will certainly come. It has been suggested that 6 pm would be a
better time for most people than 5pm. We arrived this past Friday and stayed
until 7:30. Only 2 men were present and that was not really for the Happy Hour.

We will keep Friday nites open as much as possible.

Bob and Win Taylor

p.s. there is a planned tidy up and decorate the club house for the christmas party this friday.

Hello Fellow Boaters,

The planned turkey dinner has been cancelled unfortunately due to not enough interest by the membership.  Hopefully something can be arranged in the new year!

Cheers! Andrew
