Important notice to Members
Our financial year-end is 30th June and subscriptions for the coming year are due in July.
|
The General Committee would like to thank members for their ongoing support at the Club over the past year. Although Covid-19 has impacted everyone in the country and it has certainly not been easy for many of us, we are happy to tell you that the club has survived and continues to operate on a sound footing.
|
Renewal of Subscriptions:
|
Member Subscription invoices for the year to 30 June 2022 will be sent out on 1st July 2021 and are due by 1st August 2021.
|
Due to the hardships experienced by many members, the subscriptions were not increased last year. However, due to inflation on the costs of running the club, it is necessary that the coming year’s subscriptions be increased by 5% in order to cover this increase in the club's expenses. The affiliation fees to SAS and WPDSA have also increased marginally and will be reflected on your invoice accordingly.
|
A small discount will be granted to all members paying by 31st July. Members may, by arrangement with the club, request for payment terms to pay by 30th September.
|
|
Kindly note that in terms of the Clubs Constitution, should you not wish to renew your membership, you are obliged to advise the Club (Yvonne admin@fbyc.co.za) before the end of June, otherwise billing will automatically take place and will become due and payable. Any resignations received after that date will incur pro-rata subscription fees up to the date of resignation.

Last Wednesday – 23 June 2021 – saw us give race 1 of our Winter Wednesday Twilight Sailing Series another go. Unfortunately, the wind didn’t show up … again!

Thanks Rheece, I feel like we are all learning with you!
|
On Sunday – 27 June 2021 – a few brave yachties headed out for a Medium Distance Race in a blustery North-Wester. Many thanks to Hedley Prince for manning the bridge and to Pier 23 for sponsoring the prize. Well done to all aboard Stella for the win. Second place was Makers Mark and in third place, Compromise.

On a sad note, Ivor Sindler has passed away
|
Many thanks to Rael Kassel for the tribute (below) to a man who was well-known to FBYC.
|
|
|
|
|
My tribute to the late Ivor Sindler, former Chairman of the JML (Jewish Maritime League), who passed away on Saturday after a long illness, bravely born.
|
|
|
|
Ivor Sindler, an accomplished sailor and keen racing yachtsman, passed away Sat. Ivor was previously the Chairman of the JML for many years, an accountant by profession, and very passionate about sailing and racing, and about getting youth sailing and sailing for previously disadvantaged persons to succeed. Ivor and his committee, comprising of previous Commodore of FBYC Alvin Kushner, Rael Kassel, Bertie Phillips, Saul Stein, strove to ensure that the JML 2 which was previously based at FBYC, was kept well maintained and in good and working order and seaworthy. Ivor steered his committee to ensure the JML boats were always used to their full potential and were being rightly used. In addition to the JML2 the JML also sponsored the JML Rotary Scout which was also previously based at our club. Ivor contributed a great deal of his time to the JML cause and to ensure that sailing for previously disadvantaged persons and youth would be encouraged and fostered and thereby enabling these sailors to compete nationally and internationally and furthermore to succeed in entering the boating industry and make a valuable contribution to the economy. Ivor gave selflessly of his time and was extremely humble at all times.
|
Those of you who knew him would know he was a very gentle, kind man who only wished to speak nicely of others. He had a very respectful manner and placed others' needs above his own, so to speak. He gave tirelessly of his time to ensure everyone was happy and gave back to the community and sailing all that he could. He was the auditor of RCYC for many years, was still on their auditing committee at the time of his death, and was also the accountant and on the audit committee of the NSRI.
|
On behalf of the FBYC we express our sincere condolences to his wife Adele and his two children, Martine and Gary (also a keen yachtsman), as well as his grandchildren.

Sport Participation - ALERT LEVEL 4
|
Good morning ladies and gentlemen,
I trust that this email will find you all in good health.
I kindly refer to the Adjusted Alert Level 4 and the attached Gazette.
Based on the published Gazette, organised sports activities hosted by National Federations/Associations may proceed under the following regulations:
|
- All angling activities must be hosted and executed in accordance with the SASACC PAL Covid 19 Regulations as distributed.
- All angling activities hosted by registered clubs, provinces and National Federations/Associations can only be hosted if the SASACC PAL application approval process has been completed.
- All angling events based on a team structure participation over multiple days, may be hosted if all participants submit a negative Covid19 PCR Laboratory test which is not older than 72hours prior to participation to ensure that a “Covid19 Bubble” is created.
- Traveling by anglers from Gauteng to attend an angling competition/championship may only take place for participation in Professional Angling Events (Money Trails), Provincial and National Events for which the host can issue a travel permit for cross-province travel as stipulated in the SASACC PAL Covid 19 Regulations. The permit however does not allow traveling during curfew times.
- Anglers living in Gauteng may not travel out of the province for participation in recreational angling activities.
- No spectators and visitors are allowed at any angling event.
It is the prerogative of any registered angling body, be it a club, province and National Federation/Association to cancel or postpone angling events due to the risks related to Covid19.
SASACC hereby reiterate that all hosts and registered angling bodies are liable for prosecution or suspension of membership should it be found that the regulations contained in the Gazette and the SASACC PAL Regulations are not adhered to.
I would like to ask that we all ensure a safe participation environment for our anglers at our angling events.
Regards, Andries Maree
