24.01.2022 OFSC - June 2020 News Letter Hi all Members and Friends of Oak Flats Sailing Club, After a long break with no activities at the sailing club, restrictions have now eased to a point that we can meet again at the club house within prescribed limitations (currently I understand that up to 10 people are allowed to gather, present covid-19 public health directions suggest we must continue to where practical practice social distancing and maintain personal hygiene i.e. hand sanit...ising and or washing & of course we must stay at home if not feeling well. At the last meeting the committee decided to have regular (fortnightly) working bees at the club house. The first one is scheduled for, Saturday 13th June at 9:00am * Club shed cleanup * Club boat sorting and assessment, (we have 5 additional Spirals and 2 Lasers which need to be sorted into the shed) * One thing we need to get in place very soon (possibly even on the day) is to replace the existing vanity unit in the change room facility. The existing is in desperate need of replacing. Looking forward to seeing you all on Saturday. Regards, Lothar

19.01.2022 A group of juniors, parents and other club members went down to Callala Bay over the weekend to compete in the Spiral 4.5 State Titles. All of the competitors from the Oak Flats Sailing Club done very well being their first time competing in unfamiliar waters which hit them with decent swell and winds of around 20 knots to deal with - some going further than others but nevertheless all of them managed to get out on a boat and have a go. Big thank you to the Spiral Association... for their massive support, especially their encouragement towards the juniors. Also, thank you to the parents and other club members for their help over the weekend.
