                                       PROGRAMME 2012

                                   Programme Notes

  The notes below are referred to by letters in brackets beside the Event details in the month-by-month programme following:
  (a)  Pottering programme is organized jointly by HCSC and KYC. Named Club organizes the event, but all the events are open to members of both Clubs. All dinghies are welcome with particular emphasis on sailing dinghies 12ft and under. For information on conditions for participation and the ‘Leader of the Day’ see the club notice board. Briefing 15 mins before advertised start time
  (b)  Midweek racing is intended to be fun with an opportunity for learning, and is aimed primarily at the same participant group as the Pottering. For those events in Holiday periods all Members are encouraged to participate. Please refer to Club board and / or web-site for further details.
  (c) “Free Sail “ denotes a day when tide times are not suitable for an organized potter. However a time is suggested, without commitment by HCSC & KYC for anyone who would like to sail with other members
  (d)  HCSC Weekend Dinghy Handicap racing is aimed at providing racing suitable for all abilities. Courses are generally set in the Pool inside the entrance to Keyhaven River. Racing is open to members of HCSC and KYC. Please refer to poster in the Club and / or web-site for details of Sailing Instructions and Entry
  (e)  Social Events (marked as such in the Portsmouth Tide column of the programme) will be publicized on the club notice board and web-site and/or advertised in Newsletters.
  (f)  RYA Training Days will be run by an RYA qualified Senior Instructor with assistance from Club instructors.  A small charge will be made for participation on these courses - see Notice board in Club for details. Numbers will be limited, so book early!
  (g)  Cruises will be publicized on the club notice board at least three weeks before the event is scheduled. Some cruises have been organised so those non-sailing members can attend by car/ferry.
  (h) New Members Day - An opportunity for new members to meet club officers and committee, to be given a guided tour of the river, to try out the club dinghies and also to have a chance to participate in a club race either as a competitor or on board the committee boat. 
  (i)  Totland Inter-Club Sand-Castle Competition. This event is for craft of all sizes - dinghies and cruisers alike.  Sail to Totland, escorted by Support Boats, then participate in Sand-Castle Competition on the beach. See Poster in Club
  (j)  " Newtown Pursuit Race and Rally will be open to members of both HCSC and KYC with sailing craft of 14ft loa and over. Details of how to enter, course, etc. will be published before the event. Dinghy sailors will be welcome to use spare accommodation on cruisers for the overnight stay - see Notice on Club board and / or web-site before the event
  (k)  Portsmouth tides are shown as being the most reliable means of determining the direction of the tidal stream in the Solent / Hurst Narrows. Tide runs East from approx. 5 hours after HW Portsmouth, then starts to run West approx. 1 hour before HW Portsmouth
  (l)  Annual Working Party at the clubhouse will commence at 10.00am. Bring tools, brushes, cleaning equipment and enthusiasm to give the clubhouse its annual Spring Clean before the season starts. Light refreshments will be provided
  (m)  The Club has three portable gas barbecues, one portable and one fixed charcoal barbecues. Members are welcome to use these facilities on Club premises at any time.  Details of the equipment and how to use it are given on a poster on the Notice-board in the Clubhouse.
