Welcome New Members!

New Member Welcome

WRYC would like to welcome Charles and Anne and their two sons, Noah and Elijah.

Charles and Anne are very active in their Gloucester community and became familiar with the Club through friends and the web-site.  They are both looking forward to plugging into the various club activities and in addition, both boys will be attending Jr. Sailing Camp.

We look forward to the next Social and the opportunity to meet and greet them in person.

Rentals Continue

WRYC continues to have steady interest in our beautiful venue for wedding rentals. Don’t forget that as a member of WRYC you receive a very reduced rental rate. So all those special moments to be celebrated can be hosted on the beautiful Ware River.

Layne Brown, WRYC Manager

Hope to see you soon!

As you all know there is not a lot going on at the WRYC in the month of February, so this will be brief. With the New Year comes our annual meeting which we moved to Feb 12. I look forward to seeing you all there. We have some Club business to attend to and will also share a meal.

Important Announcement - Dues

Dear Members:

Last December, the Board approved a motion to increase the dues by $50.00.  That motion was on the agenda to be presented at the Annual Membership Meeting, scheduled for January 15th.  Due to an uptick of Covid, that meeting was postponed.  As a result, the increase has not been approved by the membership.   

Because of this, the collection of dues will be suspended until after the Annual Meeting on February 12th.  If you have recently sent a check, it will be held until after the Club has taken the vote.  For those who have already paid, WRYC will refund $50 if the increase is not approved.

We are sorry for any confusion this may have caused.

Thank you,

WRYC Board

Winter on the Ware

I don’t have much to report for February as there isn’t a great deal of Fleet activity this time of year. A reminder to the Sailing community that we are on for our February 19th meeting at the Club (11AM -2PM) to discuss the 2022 sailing season. I have received close to 30 responses to our survey and will be sending out an agenda and some sub-committee goals to those who responded.

Otherwise, just anticipating a well attended meeting and preparing for an active 2022 on the water !

Best

Jim Garrett
Fleet Manager
