Thursday Snippets, 7 May

Our club’s 4 week Autumn Series commences on Saturday 7 May. Autumn Series 1 club race is at 2pm, with Information session in clubrooms at 1.15. In the morning there is ASC ‘green fleet’ and Sorrento SCBC junior training groups from 10am, with club training boats available subject to flag officer approval. The forecast is for moderate northerly winds on Saturday, with showers to follow from sunday into early in the week.

On 14 May we have the ASC Annual Trophy Presentation at 5.30, followed by Annual General Meeting at 6pm, and a visit to nearby Rosco’s Restaurant in St Kilda Road afterwards. A key agenda item at the AGM is the election of ASC general committee for 2016/17, with all positions open. The highest priorities will be to find a new Commodore and a new Treasurer. New general committee members also required. Completed forms need to be with our secretary Bill Avallone by 7 May, and are being progressively placed on the club’s window at the top of the main stairs. Speak to a current flag officer (Don or Steve) or Bill if you have queries or need help in completing a nomination form, .

Post the AGM we have a meal at Café Rosco (407d St Kilda Road, near corner with Toorak Road). Sailing and non sailing individuals and family members are invited and will be most welcome. $20 per head payable on the night. The subsidised meal will be a garlic/herb pizza bread starter, a pizza/pasta meal with drinks(wine and soft drinks) and tea/coffee. Option to pay extra for a different main meal, dessert, or other drinks. There is a sheet for bookings on Doug’s Bar in ASC clubrooms or email sailing@albertsc.org.au. The pizza/pasta menu is on the front page of ASC website and on the booking sheet. Pizza/Pasta selections are to be included on booking sheet by 5pm on 14 May.

There was a well attended function in our ASC clubrooms last Saturday evening to celebrate the 80th birthdays and sixteeth wedding anniversary of Don and Dot McKenzie. Don and Dot have been long term contributors at the club and are both life members. Go to our Albert Sailing Club Facebook for more detail and a photo.
