New Members Welcome evening

VALE ALLEN GEORGE WALTERS 12/11/1935-16/4/2021 It is with sadness that we acknowledge the death of Allen Walters, a Club member since 1985 and Vice Commodore of the Club from 1999-2002. Allen also served the Club in the capacity as Chair of the Racing Association for several years. He enjoyed his sailing and involvement with sailing, in particular his time as joint owner of Fleurieu Warrior which was housed on the hardstand at the Club for many years. Rest in peace Allen.

Gay Footer VALE RONALD CHARLES YEATES 13/10/1028-23/4/2021 It is inevitable that all good things must come to an end and of the death of Ronnie Yeates at the age of 92, this is particularly true. Ron was a long-time member of the Club having joined in 1985 and he contributed so much to the Club in his capacity as a volunteer on the race start and duty boats, both CYC1 and CYC2. Not only did he crew on the boats but he spent endless hours working on them helping keep them in top shape. His ready smile and happy demeanour will be sadly missed and our condolences go to his wife Edith and family at this time.

CELLMED

Harvey and Amy Grantham are proud to join the other Club Sponsors and support the Club with new AEDs through their company Cellmed. Cellmed provide medical products and services across Australia and New Zealand. Proudly based here in Adelaide they have a great interest in innovative clinical products and have introduced several new medical technologies to Australia. They have sold defibrillators since 1996 and are now the sole suppliers to SA Health which has involved installing new equipment into every hospital in South Australia. These devices form part of the state cardiology network helping save lives no matter how remote. Their Mindray range of AEDs are available for users from schools to sporting clubs, community groups and professionals. Always keen to support their customers, installations have been achieved across the globe. You can find their equipment in Papua New Guinea, Fiji and Vanuatu, on the Sea Shepherd vessels, Western Australia Volunteer Marine Rescue and a medical field hospital in Poland. Other projects include Endoscopy capsules, small swallowable cameras that take pictures of your small bowel now read by ‘artificial intelligence’ and saving doctors hours of reading time whilst improving the accuracy of diagnosis. They also run Adelaide’s only private Cellsaver service where their clinical staff collect blood during operations and ‘wash’ and give it back to the patient before they leave theatre. Club members since 2013, Harvey and Amy have been boating for years. Harvey’s youngest memories are of being dunked in icy cold Welsh lakes while sailing dinghies. Peak boating happiness was achieved last year when they brought a 2012 Riviera Series II 4400 sight unseen (other than by the surveyor and mechanic) from Victoria. It was a huge relief to see it arrive on the truck and docked at the CYCSA. They have made several trips around the gulf over summer and with a bit more range will be down to Robe and across to Port Lincoln next summer. They are very passionate about their clinical work and more than happy to share their experience and provide advice. Harvey can be reached on 0435 050 257 and will be demonstrating the AEDs at the Club shortly.

‘The Battle of the Clubs’ Naval Military & Air Force Club versus Cruising Yacht Club of SA Quiz Night Round 1 Friday 30th April

Following some joint Twilight Sailing last summer, the first real instalment of the ‘Battle of the Clubs’ was hosted by the Naval, Military and Air Force Club on Friday 30 April with a well attended Quiz Night. Each Club submitted four teams of eight people to get an individual team winner along with an overall Club winner. Attendees answered seven rounds of questions compiled by the MCs for the evening, Mark Jennings and Adam Hays, the General Managers of both Clubs. Competition was fierce and after a very tight tussle throughout the entire evening the Naval Military and Air Force Club saw off the Cruising Yacht Club 205 points to 187.5 thereby claiming the inaugural trophy for the time being until the return fixture back at the CYCSA on Friday 11 June. The Battle of the Clubs hopes to expand the event schedule to include sailing, snooker, clay pigeon shooting, golf and other activities, culminating in a joint end of season presentation dinner for all participants. Senior CYCSA members who are interested in the reciprocal arrangement at the NM&AFC are encouraged to contact the Club Reception.
