Prologue
In the course of this month everyone will be busy preparing his Gunning-yacht. Let’s go for it this season may be a good one with a lot of sunny days and kind winds. Such a joy in times of lockdown.

Administration
As you know we don’t handle a fixed contribution-system. All depends of the activities we will organize. Above that everyone must feel free to donate something or not, for the yearly running costs, by example webhosting and domain .org. This year everyone gets a new club flag and of course a keepsake of Summermeeting 2021.

Update Summermeeting/Rally 2021
Till now the following members signed in for our Summermeeting at Lauwersoog on Saturday 3th of July 2021:

July 2019, during our last meeting in the cosy shed of Bert & Janneke Glazenburg

Bert and I will arrange at lowest costs a tasteful 3-course buffet with fine drinks for our dear members/friends of the Alcyone Circle, as you are accustomed from us. Our terms are simply that everyone must have had their shots of Phizer, Moderna etc. or unfortunally with a negativ Corona-test for the youngones in case that they must wait some longer for that.

After our Summermeeting at Lauwersoog there will be the possibility for devotees sail away (for a part or longer) on Monday 5th of July in a Rally to Ostfriesische Inseln to avoid the expected extra crowdy Dutch Wadden-harbours around that time.

Only for the members who have n’t reacted yet, please let us know if you will join also this event.

Further (travel)plans and details will follow.
Keep you posted.

Kindest regards,
Arjen van Boekel & Joost van ’t Hull

Note: Time is flying. In the archive of Alcyone Circle we found some pics of the Rally to Oste in 1986, perfectly organized by Klaus Gerdts, around 30 years old then we think.
