Don't miss RFYC on Facebook @RoyalFindhornYC |
The Royal Findhorn Yacht Club is located in Findhorn, on the coast of the Moray Firth in Scotland, on a site overlooking the sheltered inshore waters of Findhorn Bay. The club house has a fantastic view over Findhorn Bay and the Moray Firth, with an outstanding sailing area and an enviable heritage.
RFYC offers organised and supervised racing for dinghies and occasional cruiser activities from April though to October with additional mid-week events during the holiday season. Training and coaching, by experienced race coaches and sailors is provided from time to time.
Cafe facilities are available during the day and bar facilities are available in the evenings at weekends. Games and activity areas for children are available at all times, with social programme of both formal and informal events throughout the year. The high-spot of the year is the Regatta Weekend which runs into Findhorn Week. Seven days of dinghy racing with parties every evening make an excellent start to the holiday season.
Return of the Silver-ware
I'd be very grateful if everyone could return their Trophies and Cups to the Club as soon as possible so I can get them engraved in plenty of time.
If you haven't returned them already, can you please get them back to the Club, or my home address, as soon as possible. It'll save you a nagging phone call! I'm also looking for nominations for the Smiths Nut Bowl (member who does the most entertaining thing throughout the year). If anyone has a log for entry into the Elderslie Cup, please contact me with details.

Gentleman's Dinner
The Gentleman's Dinner will be held on Saturday 28 October. Mark and Stuart are organising it so you can be sure of an excellent evening.
The evening will consist of a 6 course dinner (see Ian’s menu below) with aperitif and wine tailored to each course. There will be a talk about the wines and how they have been matched to each course. The dinner will be rounded off with a speaker talking about past Commodore William Smith Grant who also happened to own The Glenlivet. The talk will be accompanied with a special whisky.
The dinner will be held in the long room and council room so numbers really are limited to 44. We envisage up to 4 round tables of 11 and the tickets will be £50 per head, wine and whisky inclusive.
Tickets will be available to purchase from behind the bar from Friday 22 September. If you can’t get there in person please contact Alison (This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it.) to pay in advance and reserve your ticket. A name and email address will be required for members and their guests attending as there will be a table plan.

Thank You!
To all members who organised their Saturday to fit in attending the AGM. It was very well supported, despite the absence of a large number of members who were unable to attend and sent in their apologies.
Also a big thank you to RYFC from the Findhorn Coastal Rowers. The support they received from the club including safety boats, use of the club facilities, great BBQ contributed in no small way to the huge success of their first ever regatta. They asked me to offer their personal thanks to everyone who helped, however large or small your contribution, it was really appreciated.
