Our Assistant Treasurer is CBYA member, Sally Clayton, and she will be supported by CBYA member, Samir Chami (an accountant) on an ad-hoc basis.

Sun Odyssey 45.2 available for Yacht Share
Categories:
CBYA members, David and Felicity King, are offering their Jeanneau Sun Odyssey 45.2, S/Y Poog, for a potential yacht share agreement. They bought the yacht new in 2003, and sailed her around the Caribbean until 2016, when they brought her to Spain. Since arriving, extensive upgrades have been carried out, including new state of the art navigation equipment, bow thruster, thorough engine overhaul, new main, new Bimini, new spray hood and fenders. Elements of the rigging, and the sea cocks, were also replaced this year. She was surveyed earlier this year, whilst being anti fouled, and was found to be in good shape.
The yacht is moored at Marina de Dénia, and is looked after by A&P Marine.
See more yacht details by clicking HERE.
Apart from visits of a couple of weeks, perhaps two or three times a year, they only plan to be in Spain during the first three month of every year. They are therefore looking for one, or more, yacht-loving CBYA members, who have the necessary sailing qualifications, to join a yacht-sharing agreement in order to allow more value to be enjoyed from their ownership of S/Y Poog. They would also welcome others to sail with them when they are in Spain – no experience required, as both Felicity and David have been sailing since childhood.
If you are interested in either proposition, please contact David King by calling 0044 7768864439, or by e-mailing by clicking HERE.

Face Masks Now Mandatory Whenever in Public Places
Categories:
The Minister of Public Health for the Comunidad de Valencia, Ana Barceló, announced last week that, due to the resurgence of COVID-19 cases, the use of face masks is now mandatory throughout the Valencian Community for people over six years old, even if the safety distance of one and a half meters can be maintained. The wearing of masks is required in all areas, except beaches, swimming pools and natural areas, and will apply to everyone except children under 6 years of age, or people with respiratory problems. Barceló clarified that surgical and hygienic ones must be used, and that those with respiratory valves are not allowed, except for work reasons. From now on it will be mandatory to wear masks at restaurant terraces when you are not eating or drinking. The maximum capacity of the terraces stays at 75%, and the maximum occupancy will be 20 people per table
Due to the COVID-19 virus many things have changed, and the organisation of the CBYA is no exception. ALL members are now required to complete a Member Update Form BEFORE they can attend any CBYA event, social, sea or land-based. The form is the same as for new membership but you select Member Update from the first drop-down menu instead of New Membership Application.

-
Send a follow up e-mail to me at treasurer@cbya.org to confirm payment made and providing details.

Introducing the CBYA Roll of Honour!
Categories:
During the early days of the CBYA, some of our founding members donated a number of Founders Cups to be presented to our members annually for best achievement in various categories.
We have now uploaded a Roll of Honour to the Trophy Room page on our website to allow us to maintain a full record of all awards. To view, click HERE, and scroll to the bottom of the page.
Grateful Thanks for CBYA Early Charity Donations
Categories:
The Committee recently supported a proposal from Brenda Bates that the CBYA should disburse charity money earlier than usual to help the current CBYA-supported charities and organisations better weather the impact of the COVID-19 storm.
We have therefore paid €500 each to Make-a-Smile and the ISVH Bomberos. See their grateful responses in the images below….
CBYA Merchandise – Next Order
Categories:
The next consolidated CBYA merchandise order will be placed at the end of the summer. Please let Ally know if you would like to order anything.
Our new merchandise supplier is willing to brand their range of merchandise with the CBYA logo, and sell to CBYA members at a special, discounted price. They will accept our orders, and ship in economic batches, which means that the CBYA does not have to hold stock.
Make Sure that you Update your CBYA Membership Details!
Categories:
The CBYA needs ALL members to ensure that their membership details are correct.
We have therefore taken the decision to change our membership application form to read:
“It is your responsibility to submit an “Update” form should your circumstances change, and if you are asked to do so by the Membership Secretary, any of the Committee, or any organiser of CBYA events. Due to Health and Safety, and legislation, your membership is void, irrespective of payment of subscription, if you have not completed a membership form for all members 18 and over – in your own right, or on their behalf. “
Please help us NOW by checking that your membership details are still correct.
-
Go to https://cbya.org/new-member/
-
Open the online membership application form to see the revised terms.
-
Use the drop down menu on the window labelled “Please select submission type”
-
Select “Update”
-
Complete the form in the normal way.
Note that we have also added the following special COVID-19 clause to our disclaimer:
Special COVID-19 terms: As there are still unquantifiable COVID-19 health risks, each and every participant agrees that they are participating in CBYA activities fully at their own risk, and that the CBYA hereby absolves itself of any financial liability for any and all COVID-19 related illness, and or death, to anyone participating, or to those who such participants may subsequently infect.
Thank you,
Rachel Garnham
Membership Secretary
