Please remember: Be sun-safe by wearing a hat and don’t forget the sun screen.Many hands make light work - and a chance to have a chat over a beverage when
the work is done.
Important - Please Note: The Club’s deck floor, deck steps and posts will have recently been repainted and still not completely dry and ready for general traffic. This area will be temporarily closed for use and not to be accessed by anyone.

T I N G I R A A H O Y !Lee says, ‘So long, and thanks for all the fish’The Management Committee were very sorry to receive a letter from Lee Chapman announcing that he was resigning from his position of Providore. In accepting Lee’s resignation the Committee thanked Lee for his contribution to the Club as Secretary in 2019 - 2020 and Providore in 2020.
When invited to give a statement to Club members via Tingira Ahoy!, Lee (being an avid fan of Douglas Adam’s Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy) laughingly responded with, “So long, and thanks for all the fish”. But on a more serious note went on to say, “I would like to take the opportunity to thank all the people that have assisted myself and Kay during both my roles as Club Secretary and Providore. Unfortunately due to health and time constraints I am unable to perform the role of Providore to the full event that is required. It is for that reason that I have tendered my resignation. Again I sincerely thank all the Committee Members and other members of the Club who assisted during my tenure as Secretary and Providore.I do hope that the same assistance be given to my successor.”
On behalf of all Tingirians I thank Lee for his outstanding work and look forward to his continued support as an active Club member and wish him the best for his future endeavours. (Peter Fox - Club Secretary)
We Say Ahoy! to Stella Wheildon - Our New Providore We welcome Stella Wheildon aboard as our new Providore. Stella was appointed to the position of Providore at the Management Committee Meeting held on Thursday 14 January.Stella admits that initially, she will have a bit to do in ‘learning the ropes’ but with assistance from our members (especially those familiar with the Providore’s role) and her enthusiasm and skill set she is certain to bring some fresh ideas to the planning and organisation of our functions and events. Stella will very soon call a Providore’s Sub-Committee meeting to start planning the year ahead.
