It\u2019s been great to get more involved, support the club, and help everything run smoothly for both new and regular sailors. When you\u2019re down at the club, feel free to come and say hi or get stuck in too \u2013 there\u2019s always something to do, and it\u2019s a great way to be part of the community.<br>Keep an eye on the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nhebsc.org.uk\/wordpress\/club-events\/\" title=\"Events\">club calendar<\/a> for social BBQs, camp out and club fun day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I\u2019ve also been working on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nhebsc.org.uk\/wordpress\/merchandise\/\" title=\"Merchandise\">our club merchandise<\/a>. Using our original club logo, I have designed and expanded our range and it&#8217;s been great to see members with <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nhebsc.org.uk\/wordpress\/merchandise\/\" title=\"Merchandise\">our merchandise.<\/a> Our range includes the usual wearable favourites like hoodies, t-shirts, and beanies. In addition, we\u2019ve designed a club rugby shirt with club coordinates and semaphore flags and we\u2019ve added a few items by Regatta. We also have branded, dry bags, or even custom water bottles. If you have ideas or want something specific, let me know \u2013 we want the merch to reflect what members actually want to wear and use!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em><strong>Alexandra Burns<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Role at NHEBSC: SOCIAL SECRETARY, Wednesday Sailing &amp; Club Merchandise Special Power: Getting things done with a big smile including making our marker buoy covers and Wednesdays wonderful Sailing Style: Social (of course) I\u2019ve been helping out at Wednesday evening sailing sessions for last 4 years and became part of the management committee in 2024.&hellip;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":6,"featured_media":1335,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[17,63],"tags":[7,12,16,58],"class_list":["post-1334","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-community","category-whos-who-at-nhebsc","tag-sailing","tag-social","tag-volunteering","tag-women"],"aioseo_notices":[],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/www.nhebsc.org.uk\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/PHOTO-2024-08-15-09-19-21-e1754572099189.jpg","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.nhebsc.org.uk\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1334"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.nhebsc.org.uk\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.nhebsc.org.uk\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.nhebsc.org.uk\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/6"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.nhebsc.org.uk\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1334"}],"version-history":[{"count":11,"href":"https:\/\/www.nhebsc.org.uk\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1334\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":1350,"href":"https:\/\/www.nhebsc.org.uk\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1334\/revisions\/1350"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.nhebsc.org.uk\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/1335"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.nhebsc.org.uk\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1334"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.nhebsc.org.uk\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1334"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.nhebsc.org.uk\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1334"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
