It is especially important to attend if you will not be able to attend the launch of your own boat. 

Mask and physical distancing regulations must be adhered to. Please follow public health guidelines and do not come to the club if you are feeling unwell or are experiencing any Covid symptoms.

Club Emails

We use a program called MailPoet and its sending service to send mail to our members. Until recently all we had to do was add a new member and they were auto-magically subscribed. But it seems a recent change in MailPoet enforces “Sign-up confirmation” even though our members never sign-up.

This meant that several new members were in the unconfirmed state and weren’t yet receiving emails. I have now triggered (re)send confirmation email. Those new members will have received an email from the site and have to reply.

A reminder: All logged on members can view emails they may have missed by going to Members -> GYC Docs -> Archived Emails

2021 and YOU – Call for GYC Volunteers!

Dear GYC Members,

With the 2021 season approaching it’s time for you to come out and help your club! There are many projects planned for this season.

Don’t think you have the skills? We have a variety of work to do, so talk to your board of directors and we’ll help match your abilities with a project.

Don’t think you have the time? Not all jobs happen on weekends! Many of us volunteer during the week or in the evenings, whenever we get a spare moment.

All members are encourage to volunteer, this includes associate members! Volunteering is a great way to get to meet your fellow club members, contribute to the GYC boating community, and get a sense of value from being a GYC member.

This club us run by us, for us, and the only way it can continue is if YOU come out to help.
