By now most of you will have heard that we have been holding discussions with GPC about our future and the East Shores development of Auckland Creek. Well, things have moved to a point that there is talk of an extra general meeting being called in the first and second quarter of 2012 to inform all voting members of the progress and to discuss our position. To give you a heads up, representatives from the GPC and the town planners attended the last Executive meeting to formally advise the club: stage one of East Shores development plans are close to finalised and construction is set to start second or third quarter next year. The difference to this advice and previous rumours is that the money is in the bank so it’s not a question of “if” but “when” the work starts. The address explained that there are two stages. Stage one is from the northern side of Auckland Point stretching around into the creek up to O’Connell’s Wharf. Stage two extends from O’Connell’s Wharf to the creek on the southern side of the bridge. Stage two is yet to be funded but the GPC are in the preliminary stages of consultation with interested parties for the second stage. At this meeting GPC presented the PCSC committee and management draft drawings with three options for the area on which the clubhouse sits. The committee was asked for their opinions and were invited to make suggestions on the plans. Option 1: A drawing showing development along with the existing clubhouse. Option 2: A drawing showing development with a 6 story high rise building located on the existing site of the clubhouse. Option 3: A drawing showing development with a new club house south of where it is today. It was stressed that these drawing were only designed to stimulate the process for the final development and in no terms or regard could these drawings be considered, at this stage, as the final outcome. They are only concepts not fact. The time line for stage two is about five years away but in these ever changing days it was suggested this could come forward to be coinciding with the expected completion date of stage one. There was much discussion about the drawings and many ideas were floated from the PCSC committee back to GPC, whom took notes for later reference. On Tuesday 13th December 2011 (2 days prior to this meeting), there was a gathering consisting of executive committee, sailing committee, life and senior club members. At this gathering many ideas were floated and it was resolved to seek external assistance from DEEDI to develop a strategy for PCSC to go forward. The intelligence gained from the gathering formed part of the feedback the executives relayed to GPC. This is a very emotional issue which causes stress on some members with deep connections to PCSC in its current form. It is not an easy subject to embrace or even touch on, but it is happening and the old ostrich approach (head in sand) will not work. In my view the stubborn approach of “tell em to get stuffed” will not work either. The Executive have their work cut out for them in 2012 as the club is approaching a cross road for its future, no doubt about it. My thinking is that this is the beginning of the next 50 years in the life of PCSC but without what has been done in the past 65 years the club would not be here today and that’s a fact. Don’t know if that helps to ease the pain of change or not, but one thing is for sure and that is we are at a crossroad in the future history of PCSC. If you have concerns please freely make contact with myself or a member of the committee for discussions.

Adult Learn to Sail, Dec 2011

“Fantastic! Great!”“Fantastic! Great!”“Fantastic! Great!”“Fantastic! Great!” is how Adult Learn to Sail Dec 2011 participants summed

up their last day on the water in their debriefing. The PCSC Learn to sail team completed this season’s first Adult L2S on 17th December and the Club welcomes seven “graduates”, Tamas and Beata Hajos, Julia Berry, Brian Scarce, Shaun Flynn, Emma Mc Intyre and Tom Kane. The Club Pacers (even Sabots), and members’ Lasers and Impulse provided a variety of different opportunities on the water - mainly in front of the Club due to the weather. Rigging, de-rigging, leaving and returning, reaching, tacking, gybing and capsizing were a number of activities practiced. A further great experience was offered when skippers, Lynne Campbell (Ragtop), Jeff Paul (Immigrant), Jon Drummond (Loco) and Ray Hobbs (No Problem) added most of our L2S to their normal crews on the last Saturday afternoon sailing. It proved an exciting afternoon, especially for some with unwelcome boat traffic on the course! Congratulations to the participants who did so very well. Their last day, with a chance to go outside the creek provided some thrills and fast sailing. Smiling faces told their own story - sore spots and tired muscles forgotten. Young sailor, Jackson Cooper deserves special mention. His sailing skills together with a relaxed confidence coupled with a sense of fun, were inspiration to the learners… adults and juniors alike. It has been a busy time for L2S since the beginning of August - some Club member helpers, rallied by our determined coordinator, Sue Doyle, to make sure that our Learn to Sail Programs have continued to run, have rarely missed a day. Sincere thanks must go to these members as well as to the boat crews (launching, driving, retrieving, cleaning), support instructors, Brian, Karen, and as always, Barry. The new Megaphone arrived in time for the last day and made on water coaching much more effective. Then in the New Year we look forward to the delivery of two new Pac-ers. Equipment like these, both big and small, make a big difference to our L2S and is much appreciated. If you can help our L2S program in any way please contact Reception.
