Albert Sailing Club’s ‘Top of the Lake’ Regatta for dinghy sailing classes is scheduled for the weekend of 21/22 June, subject to the Lake Water level. The Notice of Race will be out early June. There is an early request for volunteers to assist one or both days of the Regatta. If you can do one or both days send an email to Cindy via admin@albertsc.org.au

In other news. The State MP for Albert Park Nina Taylor recently visited the Albert Park Yacht Club and the Sailing Precinct. A post on her Facebook on 6 May refers to The Albert Sailing Club is a great community based club which provides facilities and support throughout the year for members to sail dinghy class boats on Albert Park Lake. The attached photos are of Nina and Graeme Cox, the APYC Commodore, in the APYC clubrooms. Our ASC Flag Officers have previously met with Nina. The compliments in this post are equally valid for Albert Sailing Club, even though likely to have been intended to be about APYC.
