Thursday Snippets, 13 June

Two full weekends at Albert Sailing Club in mid June with Club Racing and VIODA Optimist programs on 15/16 June and our Annual “Top of The Lake” Regatta on 22/23 June, with online Regatta entries sought by Wednesday 19th June.

Also on saturday 15th Mini-working bee for ASC members from 9.30 a.m. Jobs include clearing the boatyard and clubhouse of leaves;  cleaning on club decking and a general tidy-up. A blower vac, face masks and gloves would be useful. One of Cindy’s Winter BBQ’s from club BBQ after sailing.
* Sunday 16th VIODA Optimist class program with Teams Racing 10 – 4pm for Open and Intemediate groups in the Northern Lake basin, and 1 – 4pm Coaching program for the less experienced Green Fleet group. 

* Saturday 22nd and Sunday 23rd Top of the Lake regatta for Albert Park Lake club members and visitors from other clubs.
Race documents and online entry link on www.albertsc.org.au Online entries are sought by 11pm on Wednesday 19th June, with late entries online till Friday or till midday on the 22nd.
Short races from earlier 1.15pm start time on saturday afternoon, then mid morning to mid afternoon sunday. The regatta incorporates the ASC-APYC Winter Series saturday afternoon race and all ASC and APYC members sailing that race are asked  to enter for the Regatta saturday afternoon session in advance of the 22nd, with the option of entering the full regatta.

Anyone who can assist for a half day or full day of the Regatta weekend and hasn’t already contacted Cindy should contact her via admin@albertsc.org.au. Coverage of key roles is OK but always good to have a few extra people not sailing to assist on-shore, particularly with things like launch and retrievals, or people with rescue boat experience (both drivers and crew) as backups if a rostered person can’t make it on the day.

Parks Victoria’s mid year Aquatic Weed skim and harvesting in Albert Park Lake commenced on 12 June, and runs for weeks. This will improve Lake conditions for the Winter Season, including the upcoming Regattas, club races, and VIODA coaching programs.
