Beginners Guide to Sailing – We have added a very useful link in our links page. This points to a number of useful articles for those new – or not so new – to sailing.  (Note that a few of the details are only applicable to the USA.)

Chairman’s Welcome

Dear Member

Welcome to the CMBHA Website. We want to make sure that we communicate with all members effectively, and to provide you with the information you want to make your boating at Conwy more enjoyable. We hope that you will find the association will be lively and vibrant, and of real use and value to you. We see this new website as being key to keeping you up to date with developments at the marina, and to provide an easy way for members to communicate directly with the association. For example, our new on-line feedback form lets you send comments directly to us.

We will also provide details of the many discounts and offers that are only available to association members, and provide links to other web sites that provide information of interest to you all, as well as make membership renewal available online.

We would very much welcome submissions from members of ideas, material and content that you would like to see published on this site. We would particularly welcome articles from members about your cruising experiences so that we can all share and enjoy our collective boating experience and learn from each other. Tips, advice, cautionary tales, will all be welcome so why not join in right now by sending your ideas or articles to us via the Feedback Form.

Happy boating to you all

Eric Crowther (Chairman)

Important Notice

We provide some pilotage, navigation, tidal, sill gate, weather and other information on this site, including links to other sites. We (and Quay Marinas and any other body or person who has supplied information) do not and cannot guarantee this information, and cannot take any responsibility for any action you may or may not take as a result of this information. You should always use the best information you have, follow good sailing practice and use your skill and judgement when navigating these waters.

In particular, the sands and the safe channels do shift in this area, and the position of buoys can therefore change. Also, the Swellies are tricky to navigate. The Notices to Mariners (under development) may help with the latest information.

Where this website uses material (text, charts, media etc) that originates from third party sources, we believe that the material is either free of copyright or we have been given permission to use it. Please contact us if you believe that any material used infringes any copyright.

This website links to many other external websites. We cannot take responsibility for the content or accuracy of those other websites, and any such link should not be taken as an endorsement of that external website.

The webcams are feeds from external sites.  We do not believe that they allow the identification of any individual; and we do not store past images.

Where we refer to special offers or other information from third parties (including the marina), you are advised to confirm the exact details yourself, as we can take no responsibility for this information or the actions of third parties.  The inclusion of information on any third party does not constitute a recommendation by CMBHA of that third party.

Your Association (Website) Wants You

Last year we created a brand new CMBHA website for you – and we are delighted with its success. Since the site started some 9 months ago, we have had 6,650 visits and 20,000 pages views.  However, we recognise that elements of the site need tidying up and improving . . . so we want your help.

We are looking for volunteers in two categories, “Editorial” and “Technical”.  This will involve occasional input into the website. Your contribution will of course get recognition on the website.

For “Editorial Team”, we are looking for a small team of people who can carry out tasks such as:

Ø Contributing occasional articles on topics such as

o life around the marina

o boating

Ø Maintaining the news pages

Ø Adding the Mariners Notices to the websites

Ø Add more photos of the environment

Ø And generally contributing ideas that we think would be useful to our members

For the Editorial team you do not have to be at all technical, but you should be happy using Word and email.

Now to geeks corner! (and if you don’t understand the next two paragraphs, don’t worry!). . .

For the “Technical Team”, we would like to identify people with the following one or more of the following skills:

Ø Wordpress

Ø Php programming skills

Ø AJAX

Ø Software Testing skills

[Warning – still on geek stuff!]. Our intention is to upgrade to the latest version of WordPress, update and possibly change the underlying theme (which is currently Atahualpa), and upgrade all the widgets (and test their compatibility with the upgraded WordPress and theme). We also want to improve the front page, possibly using a portal / AJAX type approach (like bbc.co.uk).  We also need to eliminate spam (using Askimet), and use a blog approach to allow a more transparent approach to items for sale/wanted; crew offered/wanted. … and whatever else we can think of. Any mashup ideas particularly welcome.

[Ok – back to normal stuff now]. If you can offer a modest amount of your time to become a member of either the Editorial team or the Technical team, then please email martin.berman@skyconsultancy.co.uk with your contact details, and mention where you might like to offer your skills. We will not ask anyone to do more than they have time / skills to do.

Many thanks

Martin Berman
