Matt Day will be giving a presentation on the Weather and how it works on Fri 4th March, at ELYC. I

t costs £6 per person, and places can be booked here, just click on training bookings. It is a great night for all - no matter how old or young, or how long you have been sailing!

Matt is a former member of the GBR Sailing Squad, a former Scottish Squad coach, and is currently a member of the Merchant Navy.

His presentation is full of pictures as well as chat, to help with understanding the concepts, which makes it appropriate for anyone, no matter how new to the sport or how old you are.

The evening will start at 7pm and will finish by 930pm, and costs £6 per person. You need to sign up here, but you can request an invoice if you prefer to pay by cheque or on the night.

As many of you will have noticed, our clubhouse roof is leaking, with tubs in the café and buckets in the attic, it’s clear that it now needs to be replaced to protect our much-loved clubhouse for the future.

The good news is that work is underway. Planning permission has been granted, and the project is expected to cost around £50,000. We’ve already secured a £5,000 grant from the North Berwick Trust, are applying for more funding, and will carefully use club reserves while keeping the club financially secure.

Fundraising will play an important part, and we’re keen to make this a fun and engaging process for everyone. Our target for this year, 2026, is £5,000. There are lots of ways to get involved
