Hi guys

Over the weekend I downloaded a great chart plotter app that works on the iPhone. For those of you who have an iPhone or iPad I can highly recommend this. The only version that includes free SAS charts is called 'Navionics' and is very well priced. To use it on board, you need not have a 3G connection so there are no hidden additional costs. The app runs off the embedded GPS module. It's far cheaper than buying a separate chart plotter and serves as a great backup if you already have one.  

I'm interested to hear your thoughts on this !

Regards

After reading “Mike the Manager’s “ comment on the BRYC’s website and a few comment that been put on the Forum, I thought I need to add to it but felt that the e-mail was a better place as people have been a bit slow in using our great website..

So with all the nominations going up on the board and all the beer-opinions, a lot is being said about what the positions on the committee entails however not enough has been said about understanding the feelings of the people nominated. Understanding where they stand on the various issues affecting the club, it’s financial position and it’s smooth running.

A lot of members have asked me what each roll on the committee pertains, this was usually followed by dumb looks from me and even more dumb looks from the member themselves.

So I thought it was the chance to ask the question to the current boss man (Gary). Now Gary’s explanations where sweet, short and how they say “political” but below is how I understand it.
