8th April 2008
On April 18th Glasgow Uni Sailing Club will host it's Annual General

more than one nominee there will be a vote to decide.
There's much more written about this in the Club's Constitution, which
does exist somewhere, just not here.

Sailors go Skating!
By Kirsty
3rd December 2007
Instead of open sailing next week (12th December) we are going to go to
Glasgow on Ice and go Ice Skating again!! Last year it was chucking it
down with rain and so we were the only people on the Ice. It was good
value for money because they let us stay on longer than we should
have!!
Anyway it will be £5 (students) for 45 minutes on the Ice and
this includes skate hire. Please can you let me know by THURSDAY at the
latest if you plan to come with us so I have an idea of numbers for the
booking. You can tell me tomorrow night if you plan to come or e-mail
me back. I won't be at the pub on Wednesday night as I have an exam on
Thursday but you can let someone on the committee know and they can
inform me. I will e-mail out further instructions once I have a time
and a travel plan.
See you soon!

GUSC's new sponsor is The Loft
By Esme Wilson
05th July 2007
I am very pleased to announce that THE LOFT is GUSC’s new and very lovely pub sponsor. The Loft is on Ashton Lane the main hub of the west end so it’s a perfect spot for our weekly socials and shinnanigans….what more could you want I hear you cry?
Well, we get free food once a week (I hear the pizzas are pretty top notch), they’re giving us £500 throughout the year to help us with our debts, and last but by no means not least we get VIPER GUEST LIST on a Wednesday night, saving you a whole £3 which you can put to much better use at the bar. Looking forward to seeing you all there.

Glasgow Take 2nd Place at SUSA Yachting!
By Doug Toy
28th March 2007
Strength and Honour!
Last weekend 8 of GUSC's finest sailors competed in SUSA Yachting and exceeded all expectations. With no thought for there own personal safety they battled against ten of the best university yachting teams from across the U.K. and ended up finishing second. An incredible achievement!
The team consisted of Rog, Wee Dave, Fred Girl, That guy Guy, Granpa, Nikki, Miss Palmer and me, "Carrot!" Having never raced as a team before everyone coped extremely well and by the end of the competition had the boat sailing fast. Next year with more practice at hoisting/gybing and dropping the kite there's no reason why we shouldn't win and send another GUSC team to the worlds.
The
team would like to congratulate Strathclyde on
winning the competition and wish them all the best when they compete at
the worlds later on this year.
