From the General Committee:
Club Webcams The webcams that were recently installed on the front of the Clubhouse are now back up and running. You can see what is going on on the Percuil in both directions and the link can now be found on the Club website https://www.stmawessailing.co....
Many thanks to Rupert Matthews for donating them and to Ian Matthews for installing them.
Members who race may be interested to know that they will not be used to judge if anyone is over the start line (OCS) because they dont point directly along the line.
Club kit: - There is an impressive range of clothing in a variety of colours and embroidered with the Club flag available via the website. They are made to order, so you need to allow time for this, but well worth the wait.
