Little Ship Club October 2015 eNews

From the editor

Good to be back after a disrupted few weeks due to work commitments, and we’ve tried to get most of the necessary catching-up covered in this edition. Handling arrangements for the eNews are, for now, unchanged through the transition to our new Commodore and Director/Treasurer, and we hope to have clarification following the November Board meeting on the Director/Membership oversight. My thanks, once again, to Karen Davy for her stellar efforts in supporting me in this volunteer role and for the work which both she and Past Commodore Lyle Watkins have invested in our Club. The template design for the new LSC website has been approved by the Board and was displayed at the AGM on the 11th. The new Board has been briefed on the status of this project and we await decisions at the November meeting to progress towards the ‘go live’ of the new website. At this stage, the intention is to not simply migrate the content of the current site across to the new design – this would be like flushing bilges across into a new boat – and some work needs to be done in the back end for processes like function bookings and enquiry forms. We’ll keep you posted. • Sea-lift (boats to 60ft) • Chandlery • Boat storage • Slipway : mono/multi-hulls, houseboats & trimarans • Hardstand facilities, service area and refit sheds • Shipwrights and mechanical repairs May 2015 Edition

Member Robert (#3111) wrote a few weeks back to advise that the LSC has been registered with the International Burgee Registry – www.burgees.com The Registry contains a wealth of information from the newest to the oldest boating and yachting clubs around the world. Many of the burgees on the register provide a direct link to their club’s home website, and makes for interesting reading with information for young and old boaties alike. The Registry is designed to search by alphabetical sub-sections, so for ‘our’ LSC you will find us adjacent to the ‘sister’ LSC of the UK. (Members Ross and Ray were in London a couple of months ago and sent some pix from that ‘other’ LSC.) Deadlines for the November edition are Wednesday 18th (advertising review and bookings) and Friday 20th (photos, reports, stories and news – to me, please). Advertising, in both the eNews and on the new website, will be reviewed by the new Board, Please continue to get in touch with your ideas, stories, news and contributions – email me at
