CLUB MATTERS HEBE HAVEN SLAM SAILING CENTRE OPEN DAY—21 MARCH This year the annual Hebe Haven SLAM Sailing Centre Open Day will be held on 21 March. The day is a great opportunity for members of the Club and the public to get a taste of sailing at HHYC. There will be joy rides for anyone who wishes to try out sailing, whether it is for the first time or just to try out a specific type of dinghy in our fleet. The Garden Bar will be transformed into a mini boat show with stalls with a wide range of merchandise. The day will start at 10.00am and run until 5.00pm. There will be fun games throughout the day such as lucky draws to help raise money for the Youth Development Fund. The key aims of the Youth Development Fund are: 1. Support the development of youth sailing at HHYC and to enable the expansion of the Dinghy Sailing Racing Programme. 2. Assist the HHYC Dinghy Racing Squad (Hebe Dragons) to attend recognised regattas and to assist with transport of dinghies to those regattas, team uniforms and other requirements identified by the Team Manager and the Sail Training Centre Committee. 3. Promote the Hebe Dragons Racing Squad and Hebe Dragons branding through competitions at local, regional and international events. 4. Enable individuals to receive support to attend sailing events, which will further promote HHYC. 5. Provide an annual scholarship towards sail training at HHYC. This can be made available to an individual or to a government subsidised school. This event only happens once a year, so join us on 21 March to see if sailing is the sport for you or to support our Youth Development Fund and charities that will be present. 白沙灣SLAM遊艇會航海訓練中心
