I have added a link to the Owen Sound waterfront webcam to our links page.
I also reworked the page using the new block editor.

UPDATE of Rules – 4 Jan 2022
The most current copy of Rules titled Appendix B have been updated on the website and are here for your review. The Current Bylaws and Rules document can be always located on the Website under Members > GYC Docs as well as in the paper copy in the clubhouse.

I have added a link to the WindFinder on our website’s Links page, with the Latitude & Longitude of our club already set..
They also have a mobile app.
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
New WordPress Version
Our website is built on the WordPress platform and a major new version of that software was installed today.
I backed up all of our code and data before the update and all looks good so far.
If you make a new post (remember, all members are authors and can do that) you will see that the editor is very different. But I’m finding it quite easy and intuitive. The classic editor is still there as a block you can drag into place.
If you do see any bugs please let me know.

Printable Fleet List
Logged in members can now print their own copy of the Fleet List.
Navigate to Members/Directory/Fleet List and click on the button
(PRINT COMPACT FLEET LIST)
You may have to scale the print view to fit on two pages. Works better in Chrome than Firefox.
Time for a Change?
I changed the web site header picture – but I can change it back at any time.
“My GYC Profile”
I added a page to the members’ area of the website.
Log on and navigate to Members/My GYC Profile Details.
You (and only you) will see a page with all of your personal details.
If you see anything wrong with your name, address, phone number or email address you can follow the link “Edit My Profile” to correct them. There you can also add a short bio and an image.
Please pay particular attention to Committees I Serve On, and make sure it lists all the committees you chose to be on. This will assist the directors when they need to contact you.
The other sections, Mooring & Membership and Committees I Serve On, are maintained by the respective directors. Let them know if there are errors or omissions.
Bug Fix
I have fixed an annoying bug related to the pop-up windows: boat detail, member detail, and committee detail.
The pop-up remained open, in the background. If you viewed a second member, for example, the pop-up window was re-used but was hidden behind the main window.
Now the pop-up closes on lost focus. The next click on a detail link results in a new pop-up on top of the main window.
June 2019 Board Minutes
I noticed a lot of you visiting the Board Minutes page recently, presumably looking for updates.
Minutes for a given month are approved at the next month’s meeting. But there are no meetings in July and August, so June’s were only approved at the September meeting.
They are now here.
