Transfer to new ownership
Having managed and financed the Tudor website since it began as a
personal project back in 1998, and then became the official club site
at the beginning of 2000, the Executive Committee have told me that
they have decided to take over both the management and cost of running
the site. Another new site is in the process of development ready for
the transfer to the new ownership.
To clarify the reasoning behind two new designs in such quick
succession - the Executive Committee had requested new features,
requiring a new design, and these were completed just prior to
announcing the decision to take over the site.
The current site will continue to be available at http://tudorsc.aptanet.net/ for
reference following the transfer. Those new features of the site that
have been added - additional non-club news items, forums and the
gallery will be, or have been moved and expanded as part of a new
project at http://www.sailsite.co.uk/.
I wish the new webmaster all the best, and trust he will take good
care of the site over the next 6 years.

Curry Night and Talk
All members are invited to attend the Monthly Curry Night and Talk
on Astro-Navigation Wednesday 3rd December 2003 @ 20:00. John
Jeffery will give a talk (starting at about 20:45) on Astro-Navigation
and his experience as navigator on the televised voyage of the replica
of Captain James Cook's ship Endeavour.
No charge is being made for
his talk but John would appreciate a donation being made to his
preferred charity the Royal Institute of Navigation. John will be
using a presentation prepared on his laptop computer. Unfortunately he
does not own a projector suitable for powerpoint presentations. Rather
than the club having to hire a projector can anyone help by lending a
projector for the evening. If so please let me know as soon as
possible.

Sailing Trophies
The club year has all but come to an end and it will shortly be time
to award the trophies for the 2003 season. If you have a trophy which
was won in the 2002 season could you please give it a polish and
arrange to return it to Richard Gunn (Sailing Secretary) by Sunday 30th
November so they can be engraved in time for the presentation at the
annual dinner and dance.

Website updates
You may have noticed a few updates to the site over the past couple
of weeks. The race results are now as up to date as the information I
have (there are a few missing and I will look into getting updated
information to fill in the gaps). There is now an online gallery, so
any photos of club events would be most welcome. Forums have been
suggested on a number of occasions, and a trial was requested, so these
are just awaiting Exec approval. A links page has also been added,
hopefully keeping to a compact list of the key ones of interest, but if
you know of something that may be worth adding let me know. Lastly, and of
more interest to prospective members, I am still hoping to get copies
of the New Members packs on line. When I get them they will be added
tot he Membership page.

Comments Please...
I have a prototype new look for the Tudor website in development and
would welcome some input from visitors to the site. What I am looking
for is comments on:
- how easy the text is to read
- how easy it it to find the information you are looking for
- whether the colour scheme appeals
etc.. It would be helpful if you could let me know what setup you
are using to view the site when you make any comments (Windows 98, XP,
Mac Internet Explorer, Netscape, AOL, etc.).
Currently the content is pull straight from the live site so some
pages may well be tweaked slightly when the new look is finalised.
With the results now working again, and in the process of being checked
and brought up to date, the next thing is a face lift and extension of
the features and information on the site.
For those who are, or know, potential new members, I hope to have
the New Members Packs available in PDF format (Adobe Acrobat) soon.
To take a look visit http://www.aptanet.com/tudorsc/
Do bear in mind that it is not finalised yet, but don't hold back on
your comments. Visitors to the site seem to be a pretty quiet lot, and
its nice to know that your dropping by and what you think - perhaps I
should have a guest book!
