OHSC Banquet: IMPORTANT Information!

The Oak Hollow Sailing Club end of year banquet is scheduled for Saturday evening, November 22, at the Fire and Sticks Restaurant, 3917 Sedgebrook St., High Point, NC, beginning at 6 pm. This is a fun and important event for the club each year, as we have the opportunity to get together as friends and club members to relive our sailing season, and to begin to prepare for our next year. We will recognize our top performing sailors, and hold a short business meeting, primarily to elect our 2015 officers and board members.
The club added 21 new members/member families in 2014, and we hope to see our new folks at this event! Due to the rapid growth that OHSC has had in the past few years, we have changed restaurants for this event. We outgrew the capacity at the Golden B, who handled us the past few years.
Fire and Sticks can handle 60 of us in one of their back rooms, so we will be “selling” advance tickets to the banquet for $20 per person to the first 60 who purchase them. The club will pick up the additional cost. The ticket will cover your cost for dinner and non-alcoholic drinks (there will be a cash bar available), tip, and entry into a drawing for a few door prizes.
Tickets MUST be purchased in advance, and before November 16th (cash or check to “Oak Hollow Sailing Club”). Here is how:
Linda Marsh is handling the sale of banquet tickets. If you want to buy them in person, we have three dates for you to do that:
Wednesday, October 15: Board Meeting at Barnes and Noble in High Point, from 6 to 7 pm (inside the store front left where we meet)
Saturday, October 18: Regatta at Oak Hollow, 10 am to 10:30 am
Saturday, November 8: Inter-club Regatta at Oak Hollow, 10 am to 10:30 am
To purchase by mail, you can send a check made out to “Oak Hollow Sailing Club” for $20 per person attending from your family. (If you are a single, you may also purchase a ticket for one guest). Mail to:
OHSC, c/o Linda Marsh, 4904 Carolwood Dr., Greensboro, NC 27407
When we are approaching 60 who have paid, we will send out an email advising everyone that we are close to being full, so you can make a final decision.
We hope to have a great turnout to cap off a great sailing season!
Sincerely,
Paul Walter
2014 Commodore

 OHSC held its August Regatta on Saturday, August 16, 2014, with one of its best days of participation in many years. Twenty-one boats participated in the one “race” we were able to complete. The wind was a “no-show” and the Race Committee called the event after one very slow race.
We had a beautiful day and following the delicious spread of breakfast fruit and baked goods from Connie Sloan (thanks, Connie!), Phil Andrews provided a short workshop on “How to improve your starts” in a regatta race. If we had had any reasonable amount of wind we could have better practiced what Phil taught, but the light winds did manage to keep all the boats bunched together for most of the race.

Congratulations to our top three finishers Phil Andrews, Stephanie DeLair, and Dave Heap, and to the other 18 boats who survived the “float”.

Thank you very much to the following folks:

Connie Sloan: for the wonderful breakfast
Phil Andrews: for teaching the workshop
Rosalie Austin: for being on site to sell and take orders for our apparel items
Tom Kirkman: for his donation of time and materials and the new marker buoys (which we can now see from as far away as Winston-Salem)
Les Eger, Art Hudgins, Carrie and Billy Clemmer for handling RC duties.
