LSYC Trophy List

Hello, everyone. It’s that time of year again. I’m getting the cups and trophies ready for this year’s awards. I have emailed those who are holding trophies from last year but I haven’t heard back from everyone. Maybe I have wrong email addresses.

I attach a spreadsheet of the winners from last year, just in case you forgot.

Could I now ask trophy holders to return these so that they can be engraved for this year’s winners, ready for presentation at the Annual Dinner Dance on 7th November. It takes quite a bit of time and organisation to get this done, so could I ask you to get them to me as soon as possible.

Unfortunately William and Karen won’t be about this year so it won’t be possible to leave them there. If you could leave them in the clubhouse after a race, that would be great. I will be sailing on the 4th and 5th October. If not, you can also leave them either c/o Richie Fearon at Artillery House, 33 Ferryquay Street, Derry, BT47 2AD or c/o Kieran McAllister at Cable and Accessories – Kieran has branches in Derry and Letterkenny.

If you have any difficulty getting them to any of these addresses, give me a ring and I can collect it/them from you. My phone number is 07802 436582.

In any case, could I also ask holders to reply to this email to let me know your plans so that I can keep on top of things.

Thanks

Brendan

2 sleeps to go!!!

Dear Participants,

You betcha!! We are on the verge of making history in the world of sailing and starting something amazing in Bart’s memory. Every individual in this event, be they competitor, volunteer, supporting relative or organiser will come together on Sunday and achieve something truly special, bonding the world of sailing across continents and boat classes like never before.

Every one of you rocks the socks off the sailing world and we want to wish you every success with your event. Have an amazing day, enjoy your family and friends and we hope you get a good wind in your sails….

Win a trip to sail with Ben Ainslie!

Alongside our previously announced competition to fly to San Fran and sail an AC45 with Iain Percy, we are delighted to announce today that Sir Ben has also thrown his hat in the ring with a rather special ‘thank you’ prize of his own. Are you ready?? It’s a bit of a belter….

Every person, and we mean EVERY person, who signs up to fundraise with a JustGiving page through our site and raises the suggested donation amount of £5 or more is going to be entered into the competition to win this prize.

Four of our lucky fundraisers, plus a friend or responsible adult, are going to be invited to visit the Postmouth base of Ben’s BAR America’s Cup team and go out sailing on an AC45 for the day!! Ben is also donating some additional signed clothing that will be given by the same ballot to some runners up.
