Members - is your current email address on our distribution list?
To keep you up to date the club sends out a minimum of one email each month about developments, activities and improvements. At peak season they can be more than one per week.
Are you receiveing them? If not, then your email address is not on our distirbution list.
To check, please send an email to the Sailing Secretary who is managing this list. You can add a second email address (e.g. your husband/ wife/ partner) the same way.
The Sailing Secreatary’s email address is “sailing.secretary” followed by “@“ and “wlsc.org.uk”.
New Preference System for Duty Roster in Dutyman
There is a new preference system to allow you to choose your duty using the dutyman system for the winter period. You have been sent an email from dutyman but here are some supplementary instructions.
Start by checking your members profile in dutyman. Once logged in use the ‘Profile’ tab at the top of the page to amend your contact details and your optimum duty type as required.
Next choose up to 3 preferred dates. Use the ‘New Duties’ tab to click on a date that you wish to be on duty. Under the green tick, you will then need to click your preferred duty type ie SOD or Galley (This should be the same as your optimum duty on your members page in dutyman). You can choose up to 3 duties in the winter period.
Choose dates to avoid (Optional). Under the same ‘New Duties’ tab, click on a date that you are not available for. You can then click the box next to the red cross. You can do this for up to 3 dates.
Don’t forget to click the ‘submit’ button in the bottom right hand corner before exiting to save your changes.
Do it now to avoid disappointment!
If you do not choose a preference, then you will simply be assigned a duty, so get bidding now!
I will publish the new duty rosters towards the end of July. You will still be able to arrange swaps through dutyman.
Any questions, email me at vice.commodore@wlsc.org.uk

Club Regatta & Commodore's Cup
The Club Regatta and Commodore’s Cup weekend is held in June and has events and activities to suit all ages and abilities.
If you are still in the early stages of learing to sail then the Saturday Regatta races are informal and full of encouragement to help you improve and have fun at the same time.
If you can get round a course then enter the Commodore’s Cup on Sunday. These race results have a personal handicap applied to the race times. This means that the regular series winners have to work a lot harder than normal even to finish in the middle of the fleet, so everyone has a good chance to win the trophy - at all levels of ability.
Schedule of events:
Saturday 3rd July:
1.30 Fun / Beginners race 1
3.30 Fun / Beginners race 2
5.00 Family relay race
5.30 Bring your own food to BBQ
Don’t be put off if you haven’t got a boat or have never done a race. We will get anyone who wants to sail out on the water. There are club boats and there are members who will be willing to share.
Sunday 4th July: Commodores Cup
10.30 Commodores Cup 1
12.30 Commodores Cup 2
2.30 Commodores Cup 3
Personal handicaps will be applied (based upon previous results).
Includes gold fleet oppies.
The club boats are also available for any member wishing to sail them in the Commodores Cup racing too.
Any questions?
Then please contact Mark SmallwoodThe Club Road Gate
The locking arrangement at the club gate has been improved making it much easier to get to the lock from both sides. The right gate now opens inwards.
Please ensure the red chain is wrapped around the vertical bar so that it is just slack (see photo) and not left with a big loop hanging down.
Family Picnic day, Monday May 31st
Bank Holiday Monday 31st May saw the start of the country’s second ever National Family Week. Here at Wraysbury, as our contribution to the Family Picnic events, it was a picnic and sailing special on Bank Holiday Monday.
The clubhouse, the surrounding grass and the water were all busy with members, their families and friends enjoying the warm weather and balmy breeze.
