All mariners are hereby advised that Victoria Pier (53º 17.292’ N 003º 49.705’ W) at Colwyn Bay has partially collapsed into the sea. Debris is floating in the vicinity of the Pier and mariners are advised to maintain a safe distance from the pier. Mariners are also advised to maintain a good look-out for partially submerged debris if navigating within the Bay of Colwyn.

We are pleased to announce the details for the RYA VHF Radio course (with Short Range Certificate) and the RYA First Aid course for 2017.
These courses will both take place at the NWCC Club House and there are limits on numbers, so please book promptly if you don’t want to lose out. If there is a lot of interest, we will look at running one or more courses again later in the year.

The club was full of fun and entertainment on our annual New Year’s Eve party.
Thank you to the Conwy’s for providing the music.
While you are enjoying your sailing, or just dreaming about the sea, please take a few photos and jot down a few words as a caption about your experiences for inclusion in the Club Yearbook.
Father Christmas and his merry band of helpers delighted us all with his visit to the Club on Saturday 17 December. He emerged from Conwy Quay into the Clubhouse with a strong following of children eager to meet him in Santa’s Grotto.

The club’s annual dinner dance took place at the George Hotel on the 26th November. It was great to see everyone scrubbed up, though one or two of the sailing fraternity were hard to recognise without their oilies on!
It was also really good to see our overseas contingent in attendance, and the lifeboat crew were also extremely welcome, providing professional backup in case anyone had trouble navigating the waterfront afterwards.
We are pleased to announce our training programme for Winter and Spring 2016/17.
We have set firm dates for the RYA Day Skipper and Coastal Skipper / Yachtmaster™ Offshore courses across four weekends in February, and will be setting dates for the 1-day courses once we have gathered interest and shared suggested dates with those who have signed up.

We have just launched the facility to pay your membership fees using Direct Debit. Direct Debit makes the renewal process much quicker and easier for you, and you will always receive the discounted rate for early payment.
All members who have given us their email addresses should have received an invitation today from GoCardless – the company we are using to manage the payments. Signing up is really easy using an online form, takes 5 minutes, and there’s no postage involved, so if you wish to use this service then just click on the link you received by email. If you have more than one member at the same household and would like to pay them all on the same Direct Debit, you can do that too – just sign up once and we’ll work it out, or email us with any special requests.
If you are a member but haven’t received an email, you can still sign up by clicking here.
Note that we won’t be taking any payments until renewal time next year, and you will still be able to pay by cheque, or behind the bar by credit card, if you prefer.
