I heard last night the Redundant Catamaran Club camped at the club over Easter! laugh laugh laugh

Very convenient, but how did you ever get away with it? You must have got the tents up before anyone noticed.

It's been tried before but the Shire Council would usually move in very fast to get the tents removed. Maybe the club will hear about it later!

haha Tim, it was very much kept on the down low as we were not even informed til friday arvo when packing up boats. Lofty has to be credited with this initiative which was a very positive thing for the regatta and the easter bunny of course.

The plan was simple.... Like my brother in law Phil, except this plan just might work!

The RCC did camp at the club over easter!

They (we) 'got away with it' by being completely ignorant to any issues it might have stirred shocked as Mitch illuded to... Lofty was the man at the centre of the (mis)communication with both RCC and GLYC.

Glad we did get away with it and the Council weren't on top of their game as it was brilliantly convinient! It seems to be a good idea - The sailing community can be assured that any money saved on accomodation went directly over the GLYC bar, and the local shops did pretty well out of us as well!

Perhaps it's a "Tourist Initiative" - In any case thanks to the GLYC and I hope the 'site' is available again next year smile
