Oyster Roast
** Only Logged In Members will see this Event. (as it is not open to the public)**
We will be kicking off the 2026 season with the Oyster Roast on Saturday February 14th at Sea Harbour Yacht Club from 2-4 pm.
This is a fun event and a great time to reconnect. This event is open to members and their guests. Members attend for free and guests can attend for $20 with oysters and drinks supplied by the club. If your guests are considering joining, this would be a great time to take advantage of the perks of membership, and we will credit their Oyster Roast fee against their NSA membership if they join.
Please bring a side dish or dessert to share. We tend to run out of side dishes and salads so please consider bringing those. Also remember we are trying to minimize waste so bring:
· Plates, cutlery, glasses and tools to shuck oysters
· Chairs – we will have a few available but not enough for everyone.
Please sign up on the NSA website as soon as possible.
Pamlico Shriner’s will be cooking the oysters and taking away the oyster shells, but we need the following help and are seeking volunteers:
· Set-up: 11 am: 4-6 people to pick up the oyster tables and other paraphernalia from the NSA storage unit and take it to Sea Harbour. It would be helpful if one person had a pick-up truck.
Many hands make light work and getting involved is a great way to connect with people. Please email howardcheetham@gmail.com to volunteer.

Get your burgees ready! The NSA always makes a good showing at Cape Lookout for Labor Day weekend, so join us for the fun.
We are planning a dinghy excursion to the lighthouse, a scavenger hunt and a social on the beach.
We plan to have the social on Saturday on the beach. Cell phone coverage can be spotty at the cape, so let use Channel 69 for communication.

Dinghy Poker Run
It’s not too early to start thinking about having fun and helping a good cause.
For those of you who are new to the Poker Run, here’s how it works: Hands sell for $10@ or$25/3 (including 1 lunch/hand!) at the Tiki Bar at 9:30am and the “run” is from 11am - 1pm. Players take small boats to 6-7 docks where they draw a card at each dock to fill their hand(s), or you may do land only hands at the Tiki Bar. Prizes will be awarded for the highest hands. Lunch will be served from 12:30 – whenever. Live and Silent auctions and 50-50 raffle are held following lunch.
This is a community event, open to everyone, but staffed primarily by the membership.

The 2026 Commodore's Ball will be held at Stanley Hall in New Bern again this year on Saturday, November 7th.
The Hall, caterer, bartender (Sassy Spirits) and band (Southern Hellcats) have all been booked early to insure that we can hold the Ball in November.
IMPORTANT: The reason for this early announcement is the possibility of the Navy Ball occurring on the same weekend, which will cause competition for staying overnight in New Bern! You are urged to book accommodations NOW if you are planning on attending and spending the night in New Bern following the Ball. If you are not sure of your plans this far in advance but think attending the Ball is a strong possibility, book a fully refundable accommodation to guarantee you will have a room if you do decide to attend.
Note: Registration for the Commodore’s Ball is not open at this time. Registration and additional details about the Ball will be added in the Fall.
