SUMMARY:All-Day Meeting in Surrey (embracing our AGM)
DESCRIPTION:Important note: \nThis meeting will only happen as a ‘face to face’ event if covid rules at the time allow that. Should we be unable to meet as planned we still intend to hold our AGM at 2:00pm on January 23rd\, but by Zoom only. \nAssuming that we are able to hold this meeting at the Basingstoke Canal Centre\, we ask all those who attend in person to provide evidence (e.g. photo on mobile phone) of a NEGATIVE Covid-19 Rapid Self Test (Rapid Lateral Flow Test) which has been carried out within the last forty eight hours prior to the meeting. These tests can be carried out at home and at the time of writing test kits are available free of charge.  You can have test kits sent to your home\, or you can collect them from designated pick up sites\, most of which are pharmacies such as Boots or Superdrug\, or you can be tested at a covid testing centre.   A pack of tests will be taken to the venue for any member attending who has not carried out a test prior to their arrival. \nFor further information about covid-19 rapid lateral flow tests see here:  NHS Webpage about Rapid Lateral Flow Tests \nTo order free test kits sent to your home go here:   Government webpage to order test kits sent to your home \n To find a local collection point for free test kits enter your location at this NHS webpage NHS Webpage for finding a local collection point \nWe hope that those attending our meeting will be happy to comply with this plan and that we will all feel (and be) safer at the meeting knowing that the other people present have tested negative.\n \n\nThis meeting offers a whole day of chat and presentations about AYRS members’ projects and new developments in sailing and will also include the AGM of our society. The AGM will commence at 2:00pm and will be broadcast by Zoom so that distant members can attend and vote.\n \nAlthough this is an ‘all-day’ meeting you can arrive and leave as you wish. Bring your pictures/video/posters/hardware to show other members. If you have a more formal presentation you could let the chairman (chairman@ayrs.org.uk) know in advance to be sure we can fit you in\, but that is not essential. Presentations by members about their projects has been the main content of these meetings but presentations about sailing holidays or general discussion of boating topics or development of the AYRS are also welcome. Do also bring along models\, items of equipment\, books etc. for members to inspect and discuss during our coffee breaks. We expect to have a PC with a good sized screen available (or possibly a digital projector) so that video and digital pictures can be displayed. \nNote that the Basingstoke Canal Centre (BCC) is not actually at Basingstoke – it is at Mytchet near Farnborough. Driving\, it is a few minutes off the M3 and for public transport Farnborough has two stations with quite fast services from Waterloo. Car parking is available at the site. \nTea & coffee will be available through the day. The Basingstoke Canal Centre has an on-site cafe which we understand is open through the year and it does have outdoor seating as well as indoor. If any members would like to meet for a meal after the meeting then Potters Steakhouse would be a possibility\, it is next door to the BCC. Potters Steakhouse has rooms available which could be an option if you need overnight accommodation. For alternative accommodation (for the hardy I think) the BCC has its own camping field and according to their website this is available all the year round! \nAll our meetings are open to all those who share an interest in the technical aspects of boating\, so members and non-members are welcome\, (although only members may vote at the AGM). Donations will be invited to pay for the meeting room and for a supply of tea/coffee. \nWe aim to gather from 10:00 to start our meeting at 10:45am.

SUMMARY:All-day November Meeting (incorporating November Zoom meeting)
DESCRIPTION:Important Note:\nWe are asking all those who attend this meeting (other than by Zoom!)  to display\, on their mobile telephone\, a photograph of a NEGATIVE Covid-19 Rapid Self Test (Rapid Lateral Flow Test) which has been carried out within the last forty eight hours prior to the meeting. These tests can be carried out at home and at the time of writing test kits are available free of charge.  You can have test kits sent to your home\, or you can collect them from most pharmacies or public libraries. A pack of tests will be taken to the venue for any member attending who has not carried out a test prior to their arrival. \nFor further information about covid-19 rapid lateral flow tests see here:\nClick for NHS web page about rapid lateral flow Covid-19 test kits \nTo have a free test kit(s) sent to your home go here:\n Government webpage to order test kits sent to your home \nTo collect a free test kit(s) from a pharmacy you first have to get a code – get your code at this link: Government webpage to get collection code \nWe hope that those attending our meeting will be happy to comply with this plan and that we will all feel (and be) safer at the meeting knowing that the other people present have tested negative. \n  \n\nA whole day of chat and presentations about members’ projects and new developments in sailing!  \nAlthough this is an ‘all-day’ meeting you can arrive and leave as you wish. Bring your pictures/video/posters/hardware to show other members. If you have a more formal presentation you could let the chairman (chairman@ayrs.org.uk) know in advance to be sure we can fit you in\, but that is not essential. Presentations by members about their projects has been the main content of these meetings but presentations about sailing holidays or general discussion of boating topics or development of the AYRS are also welcome.  Do also bring along models\, items of equipment\, books etc.  for members to inspect and discuss during our coffee breaks. We expect to have a PC with a good sized screen available (or possibly a digital projector) so that video and digital pictures can be displayed. \nNote that we are holding this meeting at a new venue this year. The Basingstoke Canal Centre is not actually at Basingstoke – it is at Mytchet near Farnborough.  I think this should be a reasonably accessible location for a large part of our membership – driving\, it is a few minutes off the M3 and for public transport Farnborough has two stations with quite fast services from Waterloo. Plenty of car parking available at the site. \nTea & coffee will be available through the day.  The Basingstoke Canal Centre has an on-site cafe which is normally open thoughout the day\, however our information as at 26th October is that this cafe is temporarily closed but it is hoped that it will be open again in November.  We will update this webpage a couple of days in advance of the meeting to advise current availablity of the cafe.  If the on-site cafe is not open members will need to bring their own packed lunches\, (or maybe visit Potters Steakhouse – the pub next door to the BCC)    If any members would like to meet for a meal after the meeting then Potters Steakhouse would be a possiblity for that\, they also have rooms available which could be an option if you need overnight accommodation.  For alternative accommodation (for the hardy I think) the BCC has its own camping field and according to their website this is available all the year round! \nAll our meetings are open to all those who share an interest in the technical aspects of boating\, so members and non-members welcome. Donations will be invited to pay for the meeting room and for a supply of tea/coffee. \nWe will aim to gather from 10:30 to start our meeting proper at 11:00am. \nFrom 2:30am we will broadcast part of this meeting by Zoom for the benefit of geographically distant members.  We will aim for a Zoom broadcast of about one hour and within this period we will attempt to show one or two members projects with remote members being included in questions and discussion.  This is rather experimental\, at least for our Society it is\, so I hope that members will bear with us if we do find we have problems\, technical or otherwise.  It should be good practice for our AGM which we also plan to broadcast by Zoom while also holding it ‘face to face’ for those who are local to the meeting venue. \nHolding this meeting at the BCC does not necessarily mean that we will never again hold meetings at Thorpe Village Hall (TVH)\, but we do need a broadband connection for Zoom\, we understand that this is not currently available at Thorpe Village Hall. \n

SUMMARY:AYRS Zoom Meeting - A Small Catamaran and I-Wood
DESCRIPTION:A last minute change of plan for the AYRS April Zoom meeting – we now have two members who would like to give short presentations: \nGiuseppe Gigliobianco will tell us about a small catamaran he built and Chris Scott about ‘I-Wood’ so I sugest we make these the main subject for this meeting rather than a discussion about the AC75 which was previously announced on this website. \nI-Wood is Chris’s concept for a way to use timber that makes best use of smaller logs and is suitable for easy assembly from pre-cut kits of timber parts.  Chris may also include applications to wooden boat building and he also has ideas for building vertical axis wind turbines – ‘Squirrel Cage Power Poles’. \nThese are some links that Chris has sent for video about I-Wood: \nWhat is I-Wood – https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1EB8cbjsCoI \n100q.ft. Build\, Salt Spring.–  https://youtu.be/Ttmrp5SJDF8 \nRob Greenfield & Chris Scott – a Tiny House – https://youtu.be/hNoY2VZK9KA \nInsulation with I-Wood – https://youtu.be/UpsEkZTflx0 \nCutting to shape on Woodmaster – Robert Riendl Workshop – https://youtu.be/6oNsI4ZFF68 \nAYRS meeting\, on-line or not\, are open to all\, so do feel free to pass this on to others who may be interested. \nThe link to join the meeting is: \nhttps://zoom.us/j/2536740617?pwd=VFdMOGxWRDNzK1Z4NkxpTkU1a3ZUZz09 \nMeeting ID: 253 674 0617\nPasscode: ayrs \n(we are setting a simple passcode for these meetings since this avoids people having to go through a ‘waiting room’) \nOne tap mobile\n+13017158592\,\,2536740617# US (Germantown)\n+13126266799\,\,2536740617# US (Chicago) \nDial by your location\n+1 301 715 8592 US (Germantown)\n+1 312 626 6799 US (Chicago)\n+1 346 248 7799 US (Houston)\n+1 646 558 8656 US (New York)\n+1 669 900 9128 US (San Jose)\n+1 253 215 8782 US (Tacoma)\nMeeting ID: 253 674 0617\nFind your local number: https://zoom.us/u/adUa0P78R0

SUMMARY:Zoom meeting - talk by John Welsford - joint with the Dinghy Cruising Association
DESCRIPTION:A change of plan for our monthly Zoom meeting on 13th February – The new plan is that we attend a presentation by small craft designer John Welsford\, this presentation having been arranged by the Dinghy Cruising Association (see dinghycruising.org.uk)  The date and time that the DCA planned for this presentation happened to exactly coincide with the timing of our regular AYRS monthly Zoom meeting so arranging for AYRS members to join the DCA audience avoids a clash and gives us a chance to see a presentation by a well known designer of small sailing craft. For further information about the work of John Welsford see his website at: http://www.jwboatdesigns.co.nz \nAYRS members who would like to attend the presentation by John Welsford need to register for it ASAP by going to this link: \nhttps://www.dinghycruising.org.uk/agm.html \nFrom the above link you will see two registration forms\, one for the DCA AGM and a second one lower on the page for John Welsford’s talk. Unless you are a member of the DCA\, only fill in the second form then click the register button.  The simple form requires a name\, email address and DCA membership number. AYRS members should enter ‘AYRS’ for membership number.   In due course the DCA will email you a link to join the Zoom meeting.   The reason for having to register is that this talk may be popular so we need to know if there is a need to arrange a Zoom account upgrade to cater for more than 100 participants.

SUMMARY:CANCELLED - AYRS South-East UK meeting
DESCRIPTION:This face-to-face event is now cancelled due to COVID restrictions. \n  \n  \n  \nWriting this update at the end of the September it seems quite likely that we will have to cancel this meeting and also revise our arrangements for our AGM which we had planed to follow on from this meeting. \nHowever\, if the virus situation does improve by the end of 2019 allowing us to follow our original plan then this meeting will be held at a new venue – the meeting room of the Basingstoke Canal Centre which is near Farnborough in Surrey – note that it is not actually at Basingstoke! \nSo\, if we can follow the original plan we will have a morning and afternoon of chat and presentations about members’ projects and new developments in sailing\, followed by the AGM of the society which will be separately announced. \nAlthough this event covers several hours you can arrive and leave as you wish. Bring your pictures/video/posters/hardware to show other members. If you have a more formal presentation you could let the organiser know in advance to be sure we can fit you in\, but that is not essential. \nTea & coffee available through the day and there is an on site cafe for lunch so it is not essential to bring a packed lunch.   If you arrive before 10:00am you should be able to enjoy a tea or coffee\, or even breakfast\, in the on-site café. \nAs with other AYRS events\, this meeting is open to all who are interested in sailing technology so do invite friends along. \nDonations invited to pay for the hall. \n

SUMMARY:Zoom Meeting - Skip Johnson presents his latest proa project
DESCRIPTION:As part of our August Zoom meeting Skip Johnson gave us a short summary of his proa building and sailing over the years.  For our October meeting Skip will go into more detail on his latest proa\, boat name ‘Trivial Obsession”- photo below.  This boat is now built\, just waiting for the Labor day holiday to end so traffic and boating chaos eases for the new boat to be launched and start trials.  By the time of our October meeting Skip may well have some on-water experience with the new boat. \nNote for those overseas from the UK – the times announced for AYRS Zoom meetings are British Standard Time (BST).

SUMMARY:Zoom meeting - tell us about your 'lockdown' projects and recent boating activity
DESCRIPTION:We are now holding our on-line meetings on a monthly rather than weekly basis.  All but one of our on-line meetings to date have followed the format of a presentation followed by questions from the audience.  We plan to continue this format as and when we have speakers offering to give presentations but we may not be able to have speakers for every meeting so this month’s meeting will be an experiment with a more open meeting format.  I expect many of our members will have been using the lockdown period to make progress on boat related projects and now that the restrictions are being eased in many countries quite a few members will have been afloat so this meeting is an opportunity to tell us about your boat projects/yacht research/sailing.   So if you have a few pictures you can show the meeting do bring them to the meeting – well perhaps that should read more like ‘have them available so that you show them using the Zoom ‘share screen’ facility’.

SUMMARY:Postponed - South West UK Local Group Meeting
DESCRIPTION:Clearly we have to postphone this meeting in line with current (20 March) government guidance on ‘Social Distancing’.   We look forward to a time when we are in a position to announce a revised date. \nIn the meantime\, I am considering the possiblity of a virtual meeting over the internet\, let me know if you would be interested or if you have suggestions for how this could be set up and run.  – John Perry \n———————————————————————————————- \nImportant note: Public parking within the tiny hamlet of Forder is almost non-existent. To avoid taking up the few parking spaces that are needed by residents we recommend parking near St Stephen’s church or the Cecil Arms pub in Saltash (which is where we plan to gather later for supper) and then walk down the hill to Forder. Access to the Community Hall is on foot via a private lane down the west side of Forder Creek. For bringing heavy items to the Community Hall it is permissible to drive down this lane\, there is space for a single vehicle to unload at the hall. \nForder is about a mile and a half south west from the centre of Saltash\, just across the Tamar into Cornwall. Access from other parts of south west UK is likely to be via the A38 trunk road. \nAYRS meetings are open to all\, so do invite friends who may be interested. \nWe have the use of the hall from 12:30 through to 18:00. Outline program as follows\, but don’t feel that you necessarily have to stay with us for the whole period. Attend for any part of the program or all of it. \n13:00 Gather at the hall for sandwich lunch – bring your own sandwiches or whatever\, we will provide tea\, coffee etc. \n14:00 We may take a short stroll in the vicinity of Forder – the hall is right on the waterside and there are nice footpaths through the local nature reserve and along the Lynher estuary. We will only include this activity if it is what those present would like to do at the time – the weather may influence this. \n15:30 Light refreshments followed by chat about boating and/or more formal presentations – let me know if you would like to contribute – sailing holiday snaps\, boat building / maintenance as well as actual yacht research are all good topics. We will have means to display digital photographs/video by USB but I don’t think the hall has WiFi. We would also like to include some discussion of future AYRS meetings in the West Country – if there is interest from local boat owning members we may be able to arrange an on-the-water gathering in the summer. \n17:30 to 18:00 Move up the hill to the Cecil Arms pub for supper – let me know if you would like to join us for supper so that I can book a table for 18:30. \nWe will share the cost of the hall/tea/coffee but will limit this to maximum £5:00 per head. \nFor further information contact John Perry – 07484 668904 (M) 01752 863730 (L)
