ZVYC News 27 October 2016

Dear Sailors, Rowers and Friends

Summer has arrived and it is time to make sure we get the most out of our long summer evenings and have lots of fun on the water.
Starting, today, Thursday 27 October, we will be having relaxed twilight sailing/ racing starting at 17h30 and running as late as the weather allows.  This will run every Thursday evening with the last one for this year being 1 December.  We will do an update by 3pm on the day as to the weather conditions on the “ZVYC Thurs Twilight Sail” WhatsApp group so please ask either Kathryn or your class rep to add you.
Time for fun on the water ….. We look forward to seeing you there!

Alfred’s Members: If anyone is in Viana do Castelo, Portugal, you are welcome to row there as an ARC member!
