RNLI Pennant
This Sunday our 2 Winter Series Races will also be for our RNLI Pennant Trophy! The scores from both races will be used to determine the winner of the RNLI Pennant. As this year is the 200th anniversary of the RNLI we are asking sailors to make a donation to the RNLI if they are taking part. We will collect donations via our website (a link will be emailed out on Friday) and in cash on the day.
AGM 2024
Our 2024 Annual General Meeting will be on Sunday 8th December at 1.30pm. We hope to see as many members as possible. To help us celebrate the great year that 2024 has been all members who come to our AGM will get 1 free drink from the bar (non-alcoholic options are available).
If you are unable to attend the meeting please consider giving your vote to someone as a "proxy" This means your voice is still heard and helps us to reach "quorum" here there are sufficient member's in attendance for the meeting to be held. Remember as a member this is your club, your voice counts, and the Main Committee want to hear your views. You can see the relevant document's here on our website.
To proxy your vote please email admin@spinnakerclub.co.uk to state who is holding your proxy vote for the meeting.

Southern Slipway - Available For Use Again
Thank you for bearing with us over the past few weeks while the team have cleared the southern slipway. We are delighted to announce the southern slipway is back in action and is available for use again.
2025 Racing Duties
With the programme now live on our website we are also starting to think about asking our member's to support us by volunteering for race duties! We strongly encourage our members to volunteer for duties early in the year (even if the actual duty is for later in the year) so that you can have dates which work for you!
If you are not sure how you can help please speak to a member of the staff team and they will be very happy to provide some advice!
