As the 'News' section of the website continues to expand, items from the News section from more than a year or so ago, will be moved to this section.
January 7th 2009 - General updates
First , a Happy New year to all our readers and I hope that Santa brought all the 'yotty' things you wanted!! Also an apology for not keeping the website uptodate over the Christmas period. My New Year's resolution (one amongst many) is to be a bit more uptodate!
Anyway there have been a number of updates on a range of subjects. First, the Club sailing calendar has now settled and is on the site with the details of the Friday evening racing series as well as other events and races organised by the Club. Details of the International Dragon Class event in July are listed with the Notice of Race for the Edinburgh Cup and the SW Championship now being available. The calling notice for the Trinity Race is published and awaiting entrants.
The Club house and bar/catering times have altered to reflect a winter opening schedule. The Club is implementing a new membership computer system and an Electronic Point of sale system. Details of the progress and plans for these systems are on the site with an opportunity to ask questions and make comments.
Various small updates made to the website to reflect the onward march of time. As always, if you notice something that I have got wrong or missed out, then let me know at web@royalcornwallyachtclub.org.

Various small updates made to the website to reflect the onward march of time and rain. Social events are updated and various items expanded with posters. Links to other website have been added and enhanced including the AZAB site.

The Club IT structure has been updated to now use a server to store and manage emails, distribution lists, web updates and a secure members' area for the website. This arrived on Monday and was up and running very quickly. A number of principles will be agreed with the Flag Officers and this will drive the development of the facilities of the Club . Likely additions include an electronic Club calendar, Club email extensions, private web facility for members and many other small but significant changes and improvements.
On the web site, various social meetings details have been updated. The final results for the Autumn Spirit Bay race with HRSC have been updated. Photos from the Club Golf day will be on the gallery very soon.

If you think that you are not getting regular updates (e.g. weekly calendar, email rejection notices, etc) then please give Phil Sissons a call. The website is now being updated regularly and it is a hungry beast to keep fed. if you have any comments, suggestions, corrections, reports or pictures that you think would be usefully added to the Club's site please, email to Phil at web@royalcornwallyachtclub.org and I will add them to the site as soon as I can.
April 17th 2008 - Quiz Night
The second Fun Quiz night compered by Nick Woodley was a very successful evening (not only because my team won...) but through the attendance, enthusiasm and the food. Every one appeared very positive and although the last Fin Quiz of the social season, I hope there will be others later in the year. Some pictures and a write up will be added to the website very soon.
April13th 2008 - Second Friday evening racing
Two race nights have completed successfully with a significant number of yachts racing for this early in the season. The results can be seen on the site under the Racing banner. Both nights have been very cold and last nights racing was a very windy experience especially for those yachts that set off for Maenporth on the pre-determined course. As one person commented after the race in the warmth of the Bar, "it took about 75 minutes to get to Maenporth and 10 to get back to the finish line!".
