1 April Fish N Chips this Friday Night It is a Tingirian tradition to have Fish N Chips on the first Friday night of each month. Our fish n chips have earned a great reputation so there is usually a good roll up of club members, guests and members of the public.

The cost of fish and chips: $12.00 for members and $14.00 for non-members. Do you like your fish battered, crumbed or grilled? Options of how you have your fish now include: battered, crumbed or grilled. Please let the dinner ticket sales crew know which you prefer when ordering. Coffee and Sweets Available (B - Battered); (C - Crumbed); (G - Grilled) Suzanne Pike will organise a tea & coffee bar and serve dessert.

2 Oyster and Jazz Festival this Sunday One of Tingira s main fundraising events in past years has been the Oysters and Jazz Day. The proceeds of the event goes towards paying our major annual bills such as the club s insurance premiums, council rates etc and equipment replacement. This year the format of the event has seen a significant change with an increase in the number of artists and bands performing on the day, hence the renaming of the event to the Oyster and Jazz Festival. As with all big events it requires much work in preparing beforehand and then on the day itself. Following is a breakdown of the work that is required and hopefully members will pitch in to give a hand where necessary. Date What Who Tuesday 03 April from 10:00am Saturday 07 April from 9:00am Sunday from 8:00am Sunday from 10:00am Store the outrigger canoe in the boat yard Lawns mowed Tidy sheds for the performers Relocate the fridges from the shed Position dragon boats across the beach Oyster Shucking from 9:00am Preparation of food plates from 9:00am Set up tables inside and on deck Organise rubbish bins Secure yard with bunting Remove bus from the shed Assemble marquees Set chairs / tables outdoors Secure side gates Set up complimentary drinks station Set up complimentary food station Barbecue Sale of tickets / vouchers for oysters and drinks Bus pick-ups from 11:15am Bar opens from 12:00 noon Sale of food tickets Coffee and cakes & club merchandise Security at the beach Volunteers required Stewart and Heather Sorby Volunteers required Volunteers required Volunteers required Volunteers required Volunteers Required Moya and Peter Fox Kay Chapman Margaret Jones Margaret Britz Bob Stampton Fay Hooker / Ron Boulton TBA Joan Stampton Peter Fox! 2 Tingira boat club newsletter 91 coast road macleay island qld 4184

4 Oyster and Jazz Festival 2018 Tickets This year s Oyster and Jazz event has been revitalised and is now more like a festival with a line up of four different artists and groups.

The festival will feature local artists Michael Mills, ShapeShifter and Tyne, Nuages and Juju Mama and The Jam Tarts. Tickets for this event can be purchased online by visiting: (click on the link or copy and paste it into your web browser) or by telephoning Margaret Britz or visit Margaret at 17 Coast Road, Macleay Island Results of the Off-the-Beach Mini Sailing Regatta Held on Easter Sunday The first of our Off-The-Beach Sailing Events for 2018 was sailed on Easter Sunday with 8 yachts nominating in the event. The event was sailed in a light flukey breeze that fluctuated from NE to SE and anywhere in between. Crews were kept on their toes as they tried to make the most out of the ever changing zephyrs of wind. There were three races conducted during the day resulting in some very close but enjoyable racing. Our heartiest of thanks go to the safety boat crews: Max Keily & Laurie O Toole; Norm Black and Dudley Kavanagh. A Big thank you goes to our race officials Gerard Franks and Neville Prosser for their work out on the Pontoon starting and finishing the races and recording the results.
