I would just like to extend my sincere thanks to John Casson, Graham Slack and Tony Clarke for their efforts in persevering in such extraordinary weather conditions this morning to work on the Club displacement boats.

Our next planned working party is on Sunday 9th March. All volunteers gratefully accepted!

I am glad to say the TV’s are working and showing Winter Olympics for most the week and today England are playing Scotland in Six Nations at 5pm. The sun is out but there is no sailing, it’s windy but we are keeping the doors closed, the bars open, well stocked and Scott can feed you. What better time to drop down and enjoy the ambiance. Look forward to seeing you all soon.

Please view and try out our new menus and the days specials also if you would like to book for a special occasion i can produce menus to your needs.nevaehmenu5  nevaehmenu6
