SYC NEWSLETTER August 2026
Message from the Secretary Graham Gillies
Welcome to the August Newsletter. I enjoyed sailing in balmy conditions in the Clyde at the weekend although it was noticeably a little chillier in the morning. Let’s hope there is plenty of summer sailing still to be had.
Unfortunately, our planned August Barbecue at Ormidale was cancelled owing to the impressively wet and blustery forecast which turned out to be a good call given the washout conditions on the Saturday. It’s a pity as plenty of folk expressed interest in coming.
Autumn Muster Our next event is the Autumn Muster on Saturday 12th September. By popular demand it‘s at Rothesay once more. Most folk arrive at the Inner Harbour at some point in the later afternoon to catch up and socialise before dining in the evening at the Glenburn Hotel booked for 7pm. As there is not a restricted menu, there is no form to complete but if you are planning to join us, please let me know about berthing and numbers dining by text or email by Wednesday 9th so I can confirm berths and table numbers. You can text me at 07876 505307 or email gwagillies@gmail.com
There is usually a Regatta discount on the Berthing fees which you should pay directly at the Bute Berthing office. Note that the Glenburn Hotel is a 15 minute walk out of town from the Harbour.
Closing Supper Please Note that our Closing Supper will be on Thursday 15th October at 6.30pm. The Venue is the Italian Restaurant Barolo on Mitchell Street which should be convenient for trains to Central or Queens Street stations.
Serpent Annual Dinner For this session’s Annual Dinner we have chosen a different timing and Venue. As December tends to be a particularly busy time for most of us, and has become more expensive to book, we have decided to move the Dinner from its customary late November or early December slot to Friday 8th January 2027. Similarly, we have changed the venue to the Langley room at the Corinthian Club on Ingram Street. This is where we held this year’s 50th Anniversary Dinner where we were well received. We are hoping this bold change proves to be as popular.
