Parking Stickers Available Now
|
|
Please be advised that the SoPYC Member parking stickers were not mailed out with the new Membership cards this year. The print company we used had a problem with their printing machine and could not supply them to us in time. We have received them now. They are at the Club reception for you to collect. If you can not collect yours, please let Claire know on 9364 5844 or reception@sopyc.com.au and she will mail one out to you.

New Annual Voucher Option
The Management Committee has resolved to introduce an annual payment for the House Support Scheme (vouchers) to accommodate members who are absent from the Club for work or travel purposes for extended periods. With the introduction of this option, exemptions from voucher charges will no longer be available as members opting to pay their vouchers annually will have a full twelve months to use their vouchers.
|
To accommodate this new arrangement for the new 2018-19 financial year, members must register their intention to take up this offer by no later than 1 August 2018. This will be an annual “opt-in” option and from 2019 the option will be processed at the same time as the standard quarterly vouchers on the 30th June each year.
|
The applicable membership categories are:
|
- Centreboard 26 years+
- Family
- Ordinary 26 years+
- Ordinary Half
- Social
|
For members exercising the option, $460 (4 x $115) will be charged on the 1st August and the vouchers will expire on 30 June the following year. The annual voucher option will not be available for use until they are fully paid.
|
|
Any quarterly vouchers charged on 30 June 2018 prior to the new option being taken up will be credited back (less amounts spent) to the member's account.

Swan River Closures
|
Further to our message on 28 June, this email is to advise the Swan River navigation channel closures in place between 5:30pm and 5:30am in the location of the construction of Matagarup Bridge will continue for a week longer than anticipated.
|
Unfavourable weather conditions have inhibited the progress of work in the Swan River channel. Work is now expected to last until 28 July 2018.
|
We continue to ask for your assistance to follow the guidance provided by spotter vessels at all times and thank you for your ongoing understanding.
|
|
Further notice will be provided when the night closures can be lifted on a permanent basis.

Jetty Wheelbarrows
|
|
To assist Members in carrying items to and from their vessels, wheelbarrows are located at the start of each jetty. The practice of wheelbarrow use is that the barrows are returned to the jetty gangways when they have done the job, i.e been used to transport equipment to your vessel. Unfortunately, many Members are leaving the barrows at their pens leaving other members to search for barrows to carry items to their boats. We're sure you can all imagine the frustration this causes. As a matter of courtesy please return the barrows to the start of the jetty so other members can use them without wasting time looking for a barrow that is sitting at a pen waiting for a boat owner/contractor/crew member to return the barrow for others to use.
