This year marks the 50th anniversary of Wayfarer production. The event is being marked by a dinner at Parkstone YC on the Saturday immediately prior to the National Championships - 23rd August. This is also immediately after the Parkstone Cruising Rally so we all get the chance to attend. Interest is already very strong and numbers are limited so please send your cheque to Jill using the attached order form dinner.pdf (Cheques won't be cashed until after the event!)

As for the West Oxford Open and a start to what we all hope will be a great 50th Anniversary year.
Early arrivals on Friday evening were met by a cheery Commodore, John Ward, a circuit racing Wayfarer. Thrust very quickly into our hands was a cup of tea and an offer of hot lasagne, whilst first timers at the club wondered whether the water they could see was just the launch area to a larger piece of water around the corner or, if not, what happened when all the boats in the boatpark wanted to go sailing at once. Could you could cross the lake without getting your feet wet?
The welcome was very warm, the local beer was nicely settled and as Colin suggests, in his hands, the Bar keys proved a quick route to healthy profits. Colins' stories are always fun to listen to, even if you have heard them before!
Saturday morning was bright and breezy, ten visitors and thirteen local boats lined up on a fairly short line and amazingly got away at first time of asking. A lead pack formed fairly quickly with Gordon and Emma Harris in W968 Spinaway jostling for first with Quentin Strauss and Martin Collen in 7588 Scavenger whilst Liam and Sue McGrath in W404 Sink the Pink were occasionally giving Colin May and Sarah Wallis a fright in W9068 Watery Moments.

An increase in the annual subscriptions was approved by the membership at the AGM in April this year.
The last time subs were increased (2002) our secretary had an enormous amount of work to do chasing up members who did not change their standing orders and consequently kept paying the wrong amount. The cost in time and money chasing the outstanding balances was significant and I would urge everyone who pays by standing order to complete the mandate today to change the instructions to your bankers. Please inform the secretary by email if you are claiming the discount for receiving mailings by email.
For those members not currently paying by standing order please at least consider paying this way as it eliminates the risk of the secretary having to issue reminders when the subs are overdue and that also will reduce our time and postage costs. It benefits us all if we can keep administration costs to a minimum.
As from 1 April 2008 our subscription rates will be:
Associate (non boat owning) £16
Full (boat owning) £20
Family (boat owning) £27
There is a discount of £2 from each of the above, if members choose to receive all mailings, bar Wayfarer News, by email. Please let the secretary have your correct and current email address if you choose this option!
To be able to receive mailings by email, please make sure you have registered on our website.
Subscriptions Renewal form including Bankers Order please download on this link
