Thanks for that timely advice oh webbed one!
Difference between flying and sailing (yes, there are lots), in particular with regards scheduling applies to three main points.
The first is that sailing on Tuesdays is a fixed event, not dependant of fickle things like weather.
Secondly, the class being sailed always rotates back and forth between 65 & 95 so calendar or no calendar this remains constant.
The third consideration in not advertising last Tuesdays sailing is that without RBRYC sailing at the moment there was a likelihood we may have exceeded our legal limit in skipper numbers with those who are desperate to sail from there turning up.
This last point was spectacularly successful as without advertising or calendar we still ended up with three.
Being the observant froggie that you are you would have noted that next months Tuesdays are all written up as sailing days. Well done!
Next month will also see the lifting of the 10 person + 1 frog rule so advertising our activities is back on the task list again.
I will still circulate a text message to all members once this final hurdle is cleared as this is a good way to keep in touch.
Finally I think the calendar is a great and integral part of our website that alongside the Forum is the beating heart of our little group and needs to be supported at every opportunity. Its success is dependent on how often and well it is used by our members.
Oh and next Tuesday is DF65s @ da Duck.
CheersHi Ian,
Not sure exactly what you mean. If you a replying to a post, then the words “Reply To: ***** whatever the post title is” will come up Both in your reply and as the small title at the head of the dialog box you type into.
The first post in a forum item is what/who you are replying to.
If you can be more specific In your question I will be happy to steer you in the right direction.
Cheers!Further thoughts on Tuesday sailing.
I will be heading out to PD early to mark the bank off in 1.5m increments to aid with social distancing of our skippers.
Perhaps a rule that there be no more than 10 boats on the water at any one time would work too. Should we get more than 10 skippers we will do our best to ensure that everyone who comes along gets a sail through rotation.
Those skipper awaiting a sail or have finished their turn will need to be apart from the group currently sailing. Probably further around the pond or the other side altogether under the trees.
Following June 15 we should be pretty much back to normal but in the meantime keeping our guys and their families safe is our highest priority.
Our first sail as advertised will be a “bring anything that sails” day, so therefore it’s going to be more about catching up where we left off rather than racing per se.
Looking forward to seeing you all again.
CheersOh Kermie. It’s complicated I know, what with all these new fangled abbreviations & acronyms flying about these days, what’s a frog to do?
IMHO – In my honest opinion
LOL/ lol – laugh out loud.Yes it’s all there but a bit clunky and confusing on a smartphone. The video from Patrick is plain speak and easy to understand. Best for our guys IMHO
