Hello once again to all member of WHSC!

The IODAI Connacht Championships which we hosted in Dunmore East almost two weeks ago was a great success both as an event and as a major fundraiser for our club so a BIG THANK YOU to all who helped to make it happen.

Once again (last time this year!) volunteers are required to help make this a success for the club.

So if you think you could help out with Registration, Parking, Launching, Committee Boat duties, provide and drive a RIB, Race office, Protect Committee not to mention helping out on the preparation of food and clubhouse services then please email or text me with your preferred area of participation – I would be delighted to have you as part of the team.

JO Call – Oppy or Rib Available Next Week ?

Hi all,

Hope you’re all enjoying this fab weather.

Would anyone who’s not doing a sailing course in their oppy next week or the week after, consider lending or renting their boat to some young sailors who are keen to have a go but don’t yet have a boat? And if anyone is thinking of selling an oppy please let me know and I can put it out there.

Also, any rib owners out there consider lending their rib to the junior sailing courses next week and/or the week after? All our instructors are qualified and certified to drive.

In anticipation, grateful JO!

Optimist Connaught Championships – A Massive Thanks

Hi Everybody,

Last weekend’s Optimist Connaught Championships was a massive success; The success can be attributed to the meticulous preparations of Derry O’Sullivan and the input from many members who gave their time so generously during this weekend.

We also thanks our sponsors Palmer auctioneers, Stuart & Nicola Harris and Jim and Maire O’Reilly that helped to give a touch of class to this event with their support.

Our club showed it’s very best side and we heard many compliments from Optimist parents about the great atmosphere WHSC has and the commitment that our members are giving for an event like this.

To all the helpers , You all know who you are, a big round of applause, you deserve it

Rene
