Spring Party 2004

 

The spring party had a record turnout, 168 club members. As our second spring party at Captain Bill’s, no one was disappointed.  It was a beautiful day with great company and delicious hor d’oeuvres. It was a fine end to a long and harsh winter.

 

 

 

 

House                         submitted by Tom Mc Gowan

 

Work will be starting soon after Easter. Every spring the club and grounds need a little TLC to get back in shape for the summer. There are many talented members in the club. Please consider giving a few hours one Saturday morning. We all have our children’s sports and our own house, but this is a volunteer club and many hands make light work.

 

 

Regatta                      submitted by Pete Capitain

 

The website now has a regatta bulletin board.  There’s a link to it on the front page of the website.  We’ll keep it current with events.  Please sign up.  It’s open to Captains, Crew, or anyone interested.  You can post questions (or give answers), for-sale ads, crew wanted/available, or similar listings.

 

We did battle this winter with the Cruising Club and, in the bloody aftermath (Bloody Mary’s), developed a unified set of courses for the Babylon area.  Now, when you race a BYC or SBCC event and they call Babylon course X, you can look it up in either the BYC or SBCC yearbook and it’ll be the same course.  The 2004 Yearbook details the new courses.  Some cool graphics of the new courses are on the Regatta pages of the website.

REMINDER:  Our assessment is well-named:  DUEs.  By the time you read this, if you have not paid already, the dues are, well, due.  Overdue, in fact. Please help the Club out by paying as soon as possible. It cuts down on needless expenses that are generated by mailing reminders, posting those who are delinquent, etc.

 

Thank you.

Juniors                        submitted by JACK ALBANESE

There will be a meeting for our junior members to elect officers for the Junior Yacht Club. It will be held on Saturday April 10th at 11 AM in the Junior Clubhouse in the boat yard. Don't worry, it will be a short meeting.  Last year’s junior officers are urged to attend.

 

Pool Progress

 

As weather permits during the club off-season, the swimming pool is being renovated by Ron Gibbons Swimming Pools. The work will be completed long before opening day. The more noticeable improvements will be the coping around the pool edge with imbedded depth markings and new vertical tile above water level.  The elevation of the coping will be corrected to match the deck.  The rough marbleized surface that currently covers the inside of the pool will be replaced with a new smooth finish.  Because pool-marbleizing technology has improved, we will receive a surface quite reflective and mirror like.  Looking down to the bottom at the shallow end, one may see an accurate likeness.  Dropped items in the pool will stand out noticeably.

 

Admissions                  submitted by Doug Williamson

 

If you need applications, please call Doug.  As a reminder, in order to sponsor or second a prospective member, you must be a member of the Club for at least two years.

 

The BYC has a waiting list and all applications will be numbered. The admissions committee is working on that list so any new applicants will likely have to wait one year to be admitted. The earlier the process is started, the better the chances are for prospective applicants.

With Regrets

 

Fred Grossman died last fall after a brief struggle with cancer. Fred was Rear Commodore of the BYC in 1981&82.  Many of our members knew him as a teacher in Babylon High School where he taught for many years. He was active in the musical life of Babylon & West Islip including summer band, school musicals and an active and energetic participant in the many events and activities of the BYC. Our sympathies go to his wife Linda and family.

 

2004 Schedule

 

Schedule for 2004 season is enclosed in this newsletter so the early birds can start their planning. The final schedule will be in the yearbook, available on opening day.
