A Photographic History
Over the next few weeks we hope to build up a photographic history of SSC. However we need your help. We need to know anything about the images featured to help us attach a comprehensive caption. To start the collection off, here are three images taken before the club building was built.
If you also have any tales about the club's history, we would love to feature them here on the website.
Nick Bridges and Dolphin
Nick Bridges, a member of Severn Sailing Club for many years, is currently taking part in the Jester Azores Challenge. Information about the race can be found here
Update
"I
received a mobile phone text message from Nick Bridges on Sunday (15th
June) to let me know that he had reached Terceira in the Azores on the
afternoon of Friday 13th, after a 13-day passage of "hard sailing"
- not sure
exactly what he means by that, but I'll find out in due course!
In his message Nick said that he was 8th out of 45 - I don't know if that's
his position 'on
the water' or whether it's based on a corrected time for his handicap."
[Having
just looked at the website Nick is listed as having finished 8th so presumably
there's no handicapping. You can find the list of finishers from here
I received
another update from Nick, again by mobile phone text message, on Thursday
(16 July); in his message Nick says:
"Got
to Scilly yesterday [15th] after hard sail back, bad weather all the way,
lost
rudder 500 miles out."

SSC Podcasts
As
an experiment we have included as part of the website an 
to the current newsletter. This means you can now hear the current newsletter
in Audio form.
The plan for this extra facility, besides provide an audio version of the newsletter, is to interview older members and capture for posterity tales and annacdotes from the past.
We also plan to capture sounds of the sailing club for all those who long to be at the club butare stuck in the office.
You
will need Internet Explorer 7 or Firefox to receive the rss feed. When
you put the web address into your browser you will see this icon 
next to the url. Click on it and it will create a live bookmark. All
available podcasts will now show.
This facility will develop over time with other members contributing to the podcasts.
Remember, the sounds from SSC are very much a part of the memories of members who have moved away. If people can download birdsong to play in the office, we can have halyards tapping on masts!
You
can also download the podcasts to 
using this link. Copy and Paste the url into i tunes.
Viewing website: This site is best viewed at 1024x768. If you are viewing at 800x600 then press F11 to enlarge your window.
Current Flooding Situation: We thought it might be a good idea to give you the link to the Enviroment Agency just in case. Remember though when a flood alert goes out the club is often already flooded.
Open meetings: If you are visiting us for an Open meeting you can download the Sailing Instructions from the Find Us page, or you can find us using our postcode: GL20 7HD
Training:
We
will be holding Adult and Junior training this year, so could you let
me know if you are interested. Please confirm, even if you have already
spoken to Helen or myself. We will require names and whether you are adults
or juniors (ages of juniors), and if you have any previous experience.
Contact me at utty@talktalk.net
Look forward to hearing from you,
Alan (Training Coordinator)
