Aero National Championships at Mount Martha Yacht Club:<\/u><\/p>\n

Ron Fergusson was against a tough fleet at these National Championships, including Krystal Weir, ex World Champion and Olympian.\u00a0 Not surprisingly, Krystal won the Aero 7 title, with Ron in a very credible 10th position overall, including one 3rd<\/sup> placing.\u00a0 Great effort Ron.<\/p>\n

Recycling Cans and Bottles<\/u>:<\/p>\n

The club now has an account so that you can save all of those 10c recyclable containers and then donate the money to the club. If you want to collect\/donate locally, full details of how to do this and the relevant bar-code\/ID number are available from Cindy (admin@albertsc.org.au or at the club).\u00a0 The kids\/grandkids will love the process of feeding your cans into the machine if you have a local depot!<\/p>\n

Alternatively, save and bring your eligible bottles\/cans to the club and deposit them where indicated \u00a0in the marked containers near the upstairs door and downstairs near the bins.\u00a0 Please check the eligibility mark on the can\/bottle first and do not crush<\/u> any cans.\u00a0 Wine bottles are not eligible.\"\"<\/a>This is an easy way to contribute to club funds as well as helping the environment.\u00a0 Collect your own, collect from your neighbours, and let’s all get on board with this simple fundraising effort for our club.\u00a0 If 50 club members each donated 1 container per day, the club would be over $1800 better of at the end of one year.\u00a0 Very worthwhile.<\/p>\n
