VOLUNTEERS WANTED!
Following on from the excellent effort to complete the Ladies' facilities and the Family Room, work has now begun on the Men's toilets with showers and changing room to follow. So far, few volunteers have come forward to assist in this important project. If you could spare some time to help, even if it's just an hour or two, please contact Dave Cox who will gladly let you know you what needs to be done. There is also a list in the clubhouse for you to leave your contact details, or you can use the LSC FORUM.
RACING RESULTS
The 2009 racing season has now drawn to a close. All results for the year can be found here
SECURITY UPDATE
During the summer 5 outboards were reported stolen from boats at Langstone. The Harbour Conservancy, Marine crime unit, Hampshire and Sussex Police praised the work of Langstone members in being vigilant, reporting crime and keeping good records of missing equipment.
We must thank Brian Munday for his regular checks of the recorded activity at the club and regular communication with the Harbour patrol and Duty police patrols. A special thank you from the Harbour Master to Dominic Eadie for providing the missing link that saw 4 outboards recovered and returned to their owners. As a result there have been prosecutions for theft and handling of stolen goods. We thank them for their persistence. This is another example of simple measures making our property more secure.
TALL SHIPS YOUTH TRUST
A Week with the Tall Ships Youth Trust - Edward and Heather Higgins spend a week as volunteers aboard Challenger 2.

RUBBISH!
It is clear from recent events that use of the club's waste collection service needs some clarification. The swing-top container located by the old boat shed is for the disposal of general domestic waste from the club house. Domestic waste consists of waste paper, cardboard, food scraps, vacuum cleaner dust and such like. It does not include old batteries, antifouling paint tins, hurricane lamps, engine oil, wiring looms, carpeting, oil filters, broken rigging or any from of hazardous waste. Furthermore, if the bin is already full please take your litter away with you and place it in your own bin!
Thank you.
