Greetings from the Commodore Nigel Talbot
A Happy New Year to all our members, reciprocal members, visitors and supporters. After another fantastic year in 2011 we celebrated Christmas and the New Year with mulled wine, mince pies, carols and parties. Serious winter training for our hardened racing fleet starts this January, and we can now start to look forward to an enjoyable new season ahead. The club opening times are on the website, and we would welcome you all to drop in for a meal, drink and a yarn when you are passing. On behalf of the Members, I look forward to welcoming you to the RVYC.
Our chosen charity for this year is the Isle of Wight St John Ambulance.
