First Friday - 6th March - 'Get Heart Smart' 
Get Heart Smart' with World Ironman Champion Guy Leech.
Hear from Guy about Heart Health and see a demo on the ease of usage of a Defibrillator!
For the past 10 years,Guy Leech has been known as Australia’s “#1 Fitness Guy”, having been involved in setting group fitness world records, creating a raft of fitness related products and programs and working with some the country’s leading health organisations like Diabetes Australia and The Heart Research Institute of Australia.
Guy’s mission now is to help people become Heart Smart by making sure that we have defibs available, and people are trained in how to use them confidently in the case of Sudden Cardiac Arrest. The reality is we can get the defib on the patient in the first 180 Seconds, to give them their best chance of living.

A 'Cruise Coordinator' flag
On every Club cruise you will be able to identify the Cruise Coordinator (Leader) boat as it will be flying the "L" flag. Whether in a bay, 'down the creek' or on the open sea the "L"flag will be prominent.
When attending all Club cruises please have your radio on and tuned to Ch16/77 so that you hear of any changes to cruise plans. The Cruise Coordinator will use Ch77 'calling all Alfreds Yachts' . If you have any doubts about a cruise going ahead please check with the Cruise Coordinator or with Reception. Members are reminded to fly their Club burgee at all Club on water cruising events. A burgee is available for purchase at Reception.
