Good Morning All,
We have been given the opportunity to offer Team Racing Coaching for month of July and maybe August.
This will be run 3 evenings a week (subject to demand) . The program is aimed at sailors 13yrs and over who have completed Go Racing BUT is also open to those with racing experience OR if they would prefer to crew.
The course will be organised and delivered by club member Ruairi Finnegan who has sailed both nationally and internationally.
Ruairi will be using a set of 6 Fireflies so the sailors do not need their own boats.
If you think your teenage sailor may be interested please let me know this week and Ruairi will organise an information Evening re same.
Kind Regards
Maire.

When: Optimists assemble 9:30am for briefing and launch 10:30 am
Toppers assemble 10:30am for briefing and launch 11:30am

CLODAGH LIDDY (nee MORRIS)
The death occurred in Our Lady’s Hospice, Harold’s Cross of Clodagh Liddy on 12th June.
Clodagh was eldest daughter of Arthur Morris, former Commodore of WHSC (65/69) and Mary Morris.
The name Morris is synonymous with the Juniors at WHSC every August Bank Holiday Weekend. That is the weekend when one of our oldest Junior Trophy Events is held and the prize is the Dale Morris Trophy.
Dale was a brother of Clodagh Liddy and when he was tragically killed in his late teens in a motorbike accident his parents donated the trophy in his memory. Over the years it became a trophy which was won by club members who would go on to be National and International as well as World Champions. There was such contention for it, that the late Mary Morris agreed that another trophy could be named in her honour for the older Juniors. And the Mary Morris Trophy too, is also hotly contested each Junior Regatta.
The family connection with the club continued in recent years when Clodagh’s granddaughter, daughter of Rachel Liddy, took part in the Junior Course.
RIP
The club is looking good after our clean and paint last Saturday, We’re now looking for volunteers to help with a final tidy and paint this evening.
If you are available this Wednesday 17th from 6:30pm to give a helping hand, please contact Ian Doolan 086-8136193 or Maria Kelly 0876891598.
A big thank you to everyone who helped last Saturday.
Thank You
