On Thursday 9th November, SYC hosted an excellent presentation by Graham Nye – Station Manager and Hugh De Souza, - watchkeeper at Exmouth NCI, explaining the role of the NCI and why it was formed and what the NCI actually does. As a volunteer watchkeeper, I thought it would be appropriate if I were to give a brief explanation of the role of the NCI within the Search and Rescue Services.
At the end of May there was some filming at SYC for a forthcoming Mary Berry series on cooking in stately homes.
The series begins on Dec 6th and if the trailer (click here) is to be believed, there will be scenes from the SYC filming!
Saturday: Free Sailing, Kayaks and Barbecue
Starcross was at its best this weekend with fantastic free sailing, trying a kayak out and a barbecue.
Great organising by Eleanor Thomas (Kayak Fleet Captain) and Tim Laws resulted in over 45 people trying out a kayak or surfski.
Bill MacIntyre has very kindly provided some photos from the racing at SYC on the 27th September 2015.
You can get to all the SYC photo albums (including this one) using the "Info" / "Photos" menu items or direct here.
Are you looking for crew for your boat or for opportunities to crew on a boat? If so, click "Read More" to find out how to use the "Crew Finder" page on the SYC web site.
The SYC web cam web site page has had a bit of a make over to make it a little more mobile / tablet friendly. Along the way, a few changes have been made
Cine footage of the Exe estuary, canal and local seashore from the early 1950s
To watch a fascinating BFI film clip of the Exe estuary, canal and local seashore in the early 1950s, click here. See how the area looked 60 years or so ago - and in colour as well!
It might be worth looking at the Club history at the same time. Click here to remind yourself how it all started way back in 1772.
