Welcome Parents, Students, Supporters and Staff!

February 2010

Dear GBSA parent,

We are looking forward to another wonderful summer of sailing on Greenwich Bay.  We hope you were pleased with the changes that our Program Director Joey Mello made last year and continue sailing with us!

REGISTRATION: This year we have added a monetary incentive of $25 off the tuition per student per session for INSTRUCTIONAL STUDENTS who are registered and paid by April 1.  You may register on-line under the sign-upheading.  NEW STUDENTS MUST FILL OUT THE REGISTRATION FORM. Returning students may register under your existing log-in account.

PAYMENT: We require payment by either check or credit card/ PayPal. If paying by check, please mail the check and invoice to the address below. In addition, BOTH the emergency and waiver forms must be on file before your child will be permitted to participate in class.

Our mailing address is:
East Greenwich Yacht Club, Attn: GBSA Registrar, P.O. Box 267, East Greenwich, RI 02818.

PAYMENT DEADLINE:  We expect payment no later than June 1, however, please note students will be placed in the class of their choice on a first come, first served basis. Once a class has been filled, we will add students to the waiting list and fill those spots as they become available. Your child is not confirmed as registered unless the tuition has been paid in full.

BOAT STORAGE: A fee of $65 is accessed for each boat, please fill this information on the registration and add to the tuition bill.

CANCELLATION POLICY:  Cancellations up to 3 weeks before the start of the program will be assessed a $30 administrative fee and the balance refunded.  Refunds will not be granted within 3 weeks of the starting date of the program.
