Just to reassure everyone, WebCollect is NOT and was NEVER vulnerable to the “heartbleed” bug in OpenSSL, because it never used the vulnerable version of OpenSSL.
Is it recommended that you or your members change your WebCollect password? Not any more than usual. If you are using the same password for WebCollect as you were for another service which was vulnerable to Heartbleed, then your password may have been compromised with that other service. In this case it would make sense to change your WebCollect password as well.
We have put an announcement on the WebCollect home page to this effect.

Another southerly(ish) breeze, though the air temp was more like an easterly!
Various good gusts on occasions enabled some good planing reaches in the 1st race, but there was a desire to use some of the steadier winds down the lake in the following race. The downside of going down to 15 was that the OD opted to finish ashore thereby taking the course in the shade of Sale Fell with some shifts and occasional holes…
The Hardies had the best start in the GPs first race, and they used it to their advantage holding off Dave/Lynn for over half the race, but they were a close 2nd to Dave at the finish line. Running repairs impaired Joan’s start in the 2nd race, and Dave broke away with a substantial lead.
In the F15s Simon/Jon took to the water for the first time and led the fleet, as well as generating controversy by being involved in two protests in two races, both with Mike/Kayla. Old habits/sign of things to come?
Tog took the honours in his Vareo in the 1st race, with Robbie D/Banter 2nd in a RS400, but Robbie D won the next one with Mike F 2nd in his Streaker.
Sunday started dry with sunny spells that highlighted the white tops of the waves! Various squalls passed through from time to time that helped many opt not to sail. Two F15s did choose to start but AJ only sailed the first beat before retiring which left Mike/Kayla to sail one further lap before the OD took pity in them and shortened the course
A dry sailing club is not what we want to be. The profits earned from the running of the bar help keep subscriptions down and support the Bass Week surplus which is used to maintain, and improve, the club and its facilities.
Due to unforeseen circumstances the elected bar chair has stepped down so we need a replacement to manage the operation of the bar and secure a healthy surplus.
Not sure that this important role is one that you could take on? Don’t hesitate to contact Commodore Andy Smith for further information and many words of comfort.
Is the better weather putting you in the mood for some sailing? If you haven’t already done so, get your boat down to the club, take advantage of next Saturday’s tuning day, and start racing on Sunday 23rd!
– Replaced the items salvaged under the Race Office�from the Clubroom back in there�(and helped to fill the skip with rubbish)
– Sanded the wooded floor�to create a key
Then the varnishing began:�3 coats,�7 people each day,�only took an hour and a half each coat.�Many hands made it really easy but the�trouble was they developed a thirst
In the beginning…It’s good to keep the machinery oiledGreat result. Too good to use?!
Please note that there will be House and Grounds working parties this weekend starting at 10 o�clock each day.
You don’t have to commit to being there both days but all help is appreciated and it reduces the burden on council members and various regular stalwarts.
As for the light out, AJ says �Many hands make light work�
We have been offered a Crewsaver M/L trapeze harness (drysuit has gone)
The harness has been used for a couple of winter seasons sailing on a Dart, a couple of slightly worn bits of webbing, which is from about 2008.
If anybody is interested please email us so arrangements can be made for it to be dropped off at the club, or it can be picked up from either Loweswater or Grange-in-Borrowdale (depending on where the owner is at the time)
