Keep Our Memories Vibrant and Complete
NSC’s History is under constant development. We would love to find a club archivist or a passionate volunteer who would like to take on the project of organizing and / or further collecting and recording the club’s history. If you have any level of interest, please contact the Public Relations Director by email.
NSC officially opened on July 29, 1979, though work began long before then. Below is a collection of references intended to capture NSC’s history as a sailing club :
- An Abbreviated History of NSC, 1979-1994 – From the 1994 Telltale, by Michael McGoldrick.
- Nepean Sailing Club, 1979 to 1994, The First Fifteen Years: this 96-page book was written by Mo Laidlaw and published in 1996. It compiled the club’s history as a fifteenth-anniversary project.
- Telltale Issues, 1980-2016 – Up to 2013, the Telltale was published in paper or pdf format. Beginning in 2014, Telltale became a weekly email message; see the Telltale page for more info about the current Telltale, and to see the 20 most recent issues.
- Board of Directors Historical Search Tool – Find a member of the Board, from 1978-present, using this search tool.
- Minutes of Board Meetings & AGM Documents – Documents from 2010. Member login required.
- NSC’s virtual Trophy Gallery and our database of Winners of our racing program, and awards back to 1980.
- Historical Photos – an unsorted collection of photos from NSC’s early years.
- All Past In Memoriam posts of members who have sailed on.
- Website History – A mostly technical log of the history of NSC’s website since its creation in 1998.
Our website contains countless posts, all of which are searchable. The easiest option is to use the search feature in the top-right corner of most pages.
