18th Point Talburpin Sailors Get Together - Saturday 19 May 2018 Tingira Club members Tony and Lyn Harland have announced the 18th Point Talburpin Sailors Get Together will be held on Saturday 19 May.

4 18th Point Talburpin Sailors Get Together - Saturday 19 May 2018 Tingira Club members Tony and Lyn Harland have announced the 18th Point Talburpin Sailors Get Together will be held on Saturday 19 May. High tide will be about (1.85m) and they are proposing a start to the sailing activity at 11:45am followed by lunch under the trees on the Point Talburpin foreshore. For those not familiar with the format of previous gatherings, these are friendly gettogethers designed to encourage both local and visiting sailors to get out on the water in the company of other, like-minded souls, and enjoy the facility provided by high tide at Point Talburpin. Although activities are held at or near high tide, the relatively thin waters in these parts necessarily restrict participation to dinghies (of all sorts and sizes), centre-boarders, catamarans, and other shallow draft vessels. Prior to 11.00am: all boats rigged and gathered on the beach near the picnic area. (as this event is very tide dependant, it is important we start the activity at the planned time. The cooperation of participants in being ready by briefing time would be greatly appreciated) 11:00am Briefing on shore to confirm course, starting procedure etc.. 11:45am Start 1:15pm On-water activity should be finished and social gathering begun 1:45pm Presentation of prizes 2.00pm onwards: Continue lunch and socialising As with previous events, it is suggested that participants and friends bring a little food and drink to share at the gathering. A BBQ will be provided. (for those visiting in small! 4 Tingira boat club newsletter 91 coast road macleay island qld 4184

5 boats by water don t worry - there will be plenty to go around if previous experience is anything to go by). Serving tables will be provided, but folding chairs are recommended if you are coming by land. Readily accessible toilet facilities are available at the adjacent Harland residence. For those without boats and wishing to have a sail, there is a good chance that places will be available on one or more of the participating boats. As always, we will welcome anyone who wishes to just turn up on the day, but if you let us know of your intention to join us, we will be able to contact you as early as possible in the event of cancellation due to weather etc.. For more information, or to register your interest, don t hesitate to contact Tony Harland ( ) harlandfamily@oz .com.au, or Don Burrows (Ph ) Notice of a Quarterly General Meeting - Saturday 02 June 2018 Please be advised that the next Quarterly General Meeting of the Tingira Boat Club Inc. will be held at the Club premises at 91 Coast Road, Macleay Island at 10:30am on Saturday 02 June Written Notices of Motion must be in the hands of the Secretary not less than fourteen days prior to the date of the meeting.

7 Tingira Social Kayaking Group Commences There was a pleasing roll up to the kayak group s first session held last Saturday morning at the Tingira Boat Club. Before the group ventured out onto the water, Digby Huffam kindly demonstrated the correct way to hold and use a double paddle. This was a great way for those who were new to the activity gain some elementary skills in a friendly and relaxed way. Once on the water, the group paddled together close inshore to avoid the fresh SE wind that was blowing and made their way to just south of Thompson s point. The return trip was made easy with both the tide and the wind helping to push the paddlers back home to the Club. It was amazing to see how rich the bird life is around the Island with numerous sightings of pied stilts, sea eagles, ducks and oyster catchers. After the gear was put away it was up onto the deck for a cup of coffee (or tea) and a friendly chat. What a great way to spend a morning with great company! Experienced kayaker Digby Huffam offers advice to Elan, Alex and Ammitha how to correctly hold and effectively use a double paddle.! 7 Tingira boat club newsletter 91 coast road macleay island qld 4184
