Annual Dinner |
The Club holds
events throughout the summer and less frequently during the winter. These are
largely informal. Summer events comprise cruises for the larger boats, dinghy
racing and sailing, and training for the younger club members. Events are
planned at the start of the year but are updated on a regular basis. An events
calendar is posted on the club notice board and also on the club website, so
members should consult either of these for the most recent plans. All members
are encouraged to become involved in any of the activities and volunteers are
always welcome.
Club Night: Is on Tuesday night. In
the summer the intention is to dinghy sail or carry out work at the clubhouse,
followed by a sociable pint. In the winter it is a get-together to discuss the
coming season and carry out some indoor tasks.
Work Parties: The upkeep of the
clubhouse and club dinghies requires work, which is carried out on a voluntary
basis. The type of work involved will be cleaning and painting, anti-fouling
Flying Fifteens at the start of the year, and basic repair tasks. If any
members wish to carry out any specific tasks or make suggestions towards the
upkeep of Club infrastructure, members of the Committee will be pleased to hear
from them.
Racing : The Club has an annual
regatta and also has dinghy racing on a monthly basis. Winners of the various
race events will be qualify for a club trophy, these are presented at the Club
Christmas dinner.
Social events: The main events during
the year are:
 |
Tanera
Regatta: Comprising two nights on Tanera Mor, larger boats will sail
out, and those without boats can camp on the island. Sailing and a barbeque
make for a relaxed and enjoyable weekend. |
 |
Ullapool Regatta
Weekend: The main racing of the year with a barbeque on the Saturday at
the clubhouse. |
 |
Christmas Dinner: At a venue in the village with the awarding of prizes
and of course the Commodores speech! |
 |
Club
A.G.M: The usual A.G.M formalities followed by a basket supper and
quiz. |
Training events
