“It has been a busy time at the Club over the last while.  The sailing season has started in earnest with the Spring Pointscore races commencing early September and those sailors who didn’t compete in the Winter Pointscore coming out of hibernation”.        Phil Arnall, Commodore

“The 16th Annual General Meeting of the Newcastle Cruising Yacht Club Limited was held on Monday, 12 July 2010.  A good attendance was noted.               

The meeting confirmed the re-election of the current board and this endorsement is appreciated by all concerned. Your Board looks forward to the challenges of the coming year that will hopefully see further growth in Club activities around the Clubhouse and competitive sailing. . . . . . . ”

“The Club recorded a very pleasing trading result for the March quarter signaling the end of the “summer trading period”.  The Challenge now will be to keep this up during the quieter autumn and winter months.  Members are encouraged to support our club facilities during this time and take advantage of the new menus provided by our chef to compliment the “cook your own” facility.”  Says Commodore Phil Arnall

“The last couple of months have been busy as usual in the Club.  The EGM to amend the Constitution was well attended and unusually uneventful.  As the meeting was very short there left plenty of time to retire to the bar.  Hopefully we may have established a precedent.

Members who regularly attend the club will have noticed the renovation of what was once the  provisional poker machine room which has added substantially to the amenity of the club.  Given that the additional space is often fully occupied by patrons one has to wonder whether much revenue at all is lost by not having poker machines.  I suspect  very little and I’m sure the Club and the Wickham community  benefits immensely in other ways by their absence.”  says Commodore Bruce Hansen.

Christmas New Year season sets great benchmark

 “The Club activities are certainly up and active and I have great pleasure in reporting a bumper trading last quarter which we find a very gratifying and creditable result which would be the envy of many clubs. The result is particularly meritorious given we have no supporting income from poker machines.

I must congratulate our CEO Roy Baker and all of his staff in the Club, office and marina as the result is further support of the fact that your Club is in a very sound financial position.” says our Commodore.
