Welcome to 2012. – I can’t believe I have just
written that, but yes - it’s a New Year with the
promise of many fun and adventurous boating
activities to come. As mentioned in the last
issue of On Deck, the Boating Committee
has been busy planning a calendar of events
for the next 12 months including overnight
cruises, day cruises and training activities.
The training calendar will kick off with a
special NavRally Training day in February.
We aim to demystify NavRallies and provide
support for those contemplating involvement
in the future. The day will bring together
experienced NavRalliers with new and
interested members and their families to get
a taste of Nav Rallies – what they are, what
they have to offer, and how to get involved.
This day will offer an ‘on water’ component
so that participants can have a go in a relaxed
environment accompanied by an experienced
skipper to guide them. Please keep an eye
out for forthcoming editions of our Members’
weekly email for more details of this event.
I write this in hope that good weather would
smile on our lunch cruise to Mornington on
Sunday 29 January. This is always a popular
cruise and a programmed J R Kerr event.
It kicks off our calendar of events for the
`LHYSL[»ZOVWL[OH[ÄUL^LH[OLYHUKNVVK
company is the theme for the year.
On Sunday 12 February we are planning a
Family Cruise and Competition to be held on
Port Phillip. It is also planned as a J R Kerr
event and is designed to provide a relaxed
cruise on the Bay, combined with a quiz
about inshore and land based marks between
Parkdale and Seaford. So again I ask that you
refer to the members’ weekly email for ongoing information about this event.
Preparations for the Refuge Cove overnight
trip (March Labour Day long weekend) are
well underway. As places for this trip are
limited and there are only nine rooms at
the Welshpool hotel available on the Friday
night I suggest that you book early through
[OL)4@:VMÄJL0M`V\^V\SKSPRL[VRUV^
more about this weekend, please call me on
0413 011270. Please be aware that this in
an off-shore activity and there are additional
safety requirements for participants and their
vessels.
The Club’s new calendar sets out a schedule
VMTHU`ZVJPHSÄZOPUNHUKIVH[PUNL]LU[Z0
urge you all to use this as a planning tool for
your boating activities during 2012 and I look
forward to seeing you at more of our events.
Until then,
Safe Boating
There will be no Parma Nights in January 2012.
The first Parma Night in 2012 will be held on
Thursday February 16
and the next on

In the downstairs bar, in front of the fire. It’s a good
meal with value for money for the whole family.

Members,
The following is an extract from a letter
entitled BE BOAT SAFE THIS SUMMER
written by the Director – Maritime Safety
Division of Transport Safety Victoria:
Summer is the peak boating season when
most incidents involving injuries and fatalities
unfortunately occur. Transport Safety Victoria’s
Maritime Safety Branch has
launched a campaign
“Will You and Your Boat Float “.
For requirements and tips on safer boating
please visit: www.transportsafety.vic.gov.au
Peter Corcoran
Director – Maritime Safety
Transport Safety
Victoria
The campaign will raise the
boating community’s awareness
of the importance of wearing
a life jacket and the essential
need for correctly sized and
Ä[[LKPU[LYUHSI\V`HUJ`PU
boats. Boats can be swamped,
lose stability, capsize
and sink – and even the most
L_WLYPLUJLKIVH[LYZJHUÄUK
themselves entering the water
suddenly and unexpectedly.
The message this summer is to
Ä[HKKP[PVUHSI\V`HUJ`TH[LYPHS
to your boat and wear a life
jacket at all times so that you

there were more important events
to consider.
We all got to Happy Valley races
on the Wednesday night, the boys
went to a Carbine Club lunch on
Friday and most of the group went
to the Shatin races on the Sunday.
The missus went shopping in
China, so missed the highlight of
the trip!
We saw Dunedin follow up his
Melbourne Cup win in the Hong
Kong Vase, but naturally I wasn’t
smart enough to back him.
In the months leading up to the trip
I thought to myself “where’s a good

We planned to go to Macau one
day to a good Portugese restaurant,
followed by a sojourn to the

gondola rides.

It was good to see so many of our sponsors
present on the day. Joe Downie, Wayne

Warren Bailey represented their companies
with John McConaghy absent; most
probably embarrassed by the number of
prizes he has previously won.
I hope that the weekend’s winners took
the time to thank our sponsors for their
wonderful prizes.
As usual, many people put in a huge effort
to make this weekend a success. Paul,
Marina and staff (looking great in their
Shimano shirts, especially Marina) did a
great job in keeping up with member and
guest demands. The Fishing Committee
should be congratulated, especially those
who worked all through the night on
Friday and Saturday to ensure parking went

A highlight of the weekend and a great
show of Club spirit was Ross Popperwell

guys from all the Fishing Committee.
The lowlight of the weekend was an
effort put in by Darrel (Scooter) Seager of
Wangaratta who had his motor pack up on
day one; day two saw a double hook up
on his two rods in a plastic holder. Snap! both lost over the side. Day three - rod in
holder again, his son bends over, backs into
rod, and it was also lost overboard. Darrel
has pledged to come back again next year
but is going to bring some goggles and

Hi everybody,
I hope you have all had a well deserved
break, and are looking forward to tackling
2012 head on.
CHILDRENS CHRISTMAS PARTY
The 2011 Children’s Christmas Party was an
enjoyable day. The weather was a little cool,
so Santa had to leave his sleigh on Beach Rd.
The big guy didn’t let anyone down, and lots
of presents were delivered to happy children.
This event at the Club is always an enjoyable
day for those that believe in Santa, and for
those that don’t.

disappointment - particularly at weekends;
the good rain in conjunction with our
gardener’s efforts has the Squadron grounds
looking great. At this time of the year the
Site committee is usually pretty well up
to date with general maintenance, as we
too like to make the most of the boating
season. However, if you do notice anything
that needs attention please report it to
