2010 Commodore's Boating Season Message

Welcome to the 2010 boating season. As your commodore I look forward to serving our club and advancing connections to the boating community, particularly those on the south shore of Lake Erie. We have had two very successful events and another colourful sail past complete with piper. As each of us prepare for this boating season, our holidays, and trips onto and across the lake I would like to remind everyone that this club relies on participation by its members for success. Please review the events and choose how you can serve and represent your club at a function. I encourage everyone to attend and to spread the word to ensure we have attendance at each and every event. I encourage everyone to have a safe, enjoyable boating season and look forward to seeing you on the water.

Message from the Commodore

Hello All

I went to the Port Dover LCBO this weekend to discover that any event held by LPBYC in the pavilion at PDHM only qualifies for a permit if LPBYC buys the liquor from the LCBO/Beer Store and either sells it, smart serve qualified staff, or gives it away. Therefore there is no permit that would permit our club to have its members bring their own liquor without violating the law. Our club events, hosted at the pavilion will have to be alcohol free. Any member choosing to bring liquor does so at their own risk. If the club wishes to have an event with liquor it will have to held at a licensed premises such as the Brig.

I have informed Janet that Norfolk County was incorrect if they were suggesting that a special occasion permit would cover a club, its members and the PDHM for the consumption of personal liquor. Janet will be taking this back to the Norfolk County office.
