July 4th Celebration:  The crowd was a little smaller than usual, but the fun was enormous!  The weather forecast looked miserable, but only a shower after lunch kept our members off the beach. The decorations were very festive! We were able to have the opening ceremony, parade, and pictures with no problems.  Instead of games on the beach, we had games on the volleyball court.  The children had a grand time with the balloon toss, water balloon fight, egg race, and tug-of-war.  The adults tug-of-war was small – but very competetive!  There was also the beloved fishing pond and cup cake walk, along with guessing games on the porch!  We had quite a crowd for the pulled pork lunch.  The annual horse shoe tournament was won by Taylor Brown and Jeremy Greene.  A tremendous thank you to all of the volunteers that made our celebration possible.  We appreciate your efforts!

4. Since we cannot have games on the beach due to high tides and little space, we will have games for the children in the sand lot (volleyball court) in front of the Club at 11:00.
5. There will be a table on the first floor so that you can buy beautiful HSC merchandise without having to put on dry clothes to go upstairs.  All sales will be charged to your account.

New Gate

If you haven’t been the Club in the past couple of weeks, you may not have seen the new gate at the front of the property.  It matches the beautiful fencing.  The gate swings freely in both directions, so it’s easy to get through even when holding beach chairs, beach bags, or babies!  We appreciate all the Facilities Committee and Board have done to keep our Club in good repair and looking beautiful.

FEEDBACK:

We are interested in feedback from the membership. Quite a few members have placed suggestions, complements, and concerns in the Suggestion box inside the 2nd floor door.  However, there are quite a few members who rarely venture upstairs.  We have a new e-mail address that you can use to send  your comments. Use feedback.hanoverseasideclub@gmail.com to send your comments to the Operations Committee.

Change of events: Due to unusually high tides, there is not enough space between the high tide line and the right of way for beach patrol vehichles to have beach games. So the games are being cancelled for this year. In fact, there is very little room for beach chairs, umbrellas, shibumis, etc. If you are coming to the beach on the 4th, please try to use as small a footprint as possible for your beach equipment so all members can find a space.

Lunch:  Don’t forget to call the office to make reservations if you want to enjoy the delicious pulled pork lunch. It’s so easy – you don’t have to bring a picnic, just walk through the line and have a wonderful meal. If you make reservations, stop by the office before lunch to pay and pick up your ticket!

What a great start we had to our summer season!  Friday’s Prime Rib dinner sold out.  We had the most delicious prime rib, grilled shrimp and SALAD BAR!  Our parking lot was nearly full on Saturday, Sunday, and Monday. The weather was beautiful and the fellowship incredible.  This was the busiest weekend we have had in a couple of years and it was wonderful to see our friends again!

HOURS:  For the summer season, our office will be open from 9:00-6:00 every day, Monday through Sunday. Feel free to stop by to purchase merchandise, settle accounts, buy boat stickers, pay for your lockers, pick up your wristband, or pick up a guest parking sticker/wristband.  When the parking lot attendant is on duty, you may purchase your guest parking pass and pick up a guest wristband there.  Guest parking passes are $10 per day and can be purchased 7 days a week except for the days listed in the opening letter.

Snack Bar hours are Tuesday through Sunday, 11:00-3:00.  When you order online, the default is to charge your account beginning with your dining room minimum.

PARTY ON THE PORCH:  Saturday, June 25 at 6:00pm. We will have Mommiez Food Truck and music provided by DJ Lee Pearson.  BYOB – we will have set-ups available.

RULES:  Be sure to read the Club rules found on the Quick Links page of the website and share them with your children.  A couple of other items to be aware of:

1. Surfboards should not be placed on picnic tables.  Clothing and shoes should not be left scattered on porches.  Anything left lying around will be disposed of.
2. No chairs, toys, or surfboards should be left on the porches or in the snack bar areas.  The chair racks located on the north side of the first floor are for those renting rooms only.
3. Wristbands should be worn at all times.  The bands have done a remarkable job of reducing nonmembers from using our facililty.  They make it so much easier for our staff to identify members.  If you have not picked yours up, stop by the Club office.  Guest bands are available either at the parking attendants station or the front desk.
4. Car stickers much be permanently applied to the passenger’s side of the windshield.  If you were not able to pick up your opening letter, it is in the mail and you should receive it in a couple of days.  Stickers are included.
5. Wrightsville Beach no longer has the large blue trash barrels on the beach.  They sited beach erosion and inability to find employees as their reason for removing the barrels.  PLEASE DO NOT LITTER!  Do your part to “PACK IT IN AND PACK IT OUT” to keep our beach clean.

SUGGESTION BOX:  We are placing a box on the wall to the right, just inside the 2nd door main entrance.  There will also be paper and pens so you can leave Suggestions, Complements, and Concerns.  Tell us what you like and what you don’t so that we can improve the Hanover Seaside Club experience.  The box will be checked by the chair of the Operations Committee.  You can sign your name, or leave your comment anonymously.  We care what you think!

CAN YOU BELIEVE THAT SUMMER IS ALMOST HERE? WE ARE GETTING READY FOR YOU!

SNACK BAR:  The Snack Bar will be open this weekend, May 21 and 22 so be sure to come down for some lunch. The menu will remain the same with all of your favorites. Prices are a little higher due to the increase in cost of food and labor. But, we think it’s still the best deal around. Be sure to use online ordering to get your order fast and hot. Or, you can call your order in to the office phone at 910-256-2726. The Snack Bar will be closed during the week, but will reopen on Saturday, May 28 for the Memorial Day weekend.

PARTY ON THE PORCH:  You have already received your flyer for the Party on the Porch on Saturday, May 28 from 6-9pm. We are doing things a little differently this year. Bring your own bottle and give it to the bartender. The bartender will have cups, mixers, and everything you need for him to mix your drink. During the evening just go to the bar, give him your name, and order your drink. Don’t forget to pick up your bottle at the end of the evening. We can not store your liquor. Call the Club office to make your reservation to attend this party. Bring an appetizer to share!  Bub White will be providing music.

We will be asking sponsors to pay $200 to pay for the party. This keeps the parties free and doesn’t impact our budget. If you or your company would like to sponsor a party, please contact Cher Pridgen.

Thanks to East Coast Autos and Trailers (Dan and Angie Harris) for sponsoring our first party.

WRISTBANDS:  We will be requiring members to wear wristbands again this year.  They really helped us identify who should be on our property last year. The color is different this year, so you must pick your wrist band up at the Club office.  You must beging wearing them on Saturday, May 28.  One person can pick them up for your entire family.  Be sure to stop in the office and pick up guest bands for all guests.  For those of you who are engaged, you must get guest bands for your fiancee each time they accompany you to the Club.  Only members are allowed to wear member bands.
