Sophie Browne, Liam Lynch, Tadg O'Loinsigh, Michael and Louise Magowan, Donagh and Eoin O'Buachalla and Peter O'Halloran enjoyed a great weekend of sailing, even if they did have to release their boats from an icy covering each morning.

News from travelling TBSC Sailors.

THE committee are working hard on improving the clubs facilities and appearance. Recent and upcoming changes include the resurfacing of the dinghy park which has now been lined and will shortly have steel tie-down points for securing dinghies. The lower gate is about to be replaced with an electronically controlled unit and a similar unit will be placed at the main entrance. The plumbing has been troublesome for years and this year will be upgraded to improve the water supply and showers. We also intend to tidy up and paint our western boundary area on the seafront and improve the shrubs around the front door. Don’t be surprised if you are asked to help, you could even volunteer! The committee are very aware that a number of other areas need attention but there is only so much that can be done in a year.
