We are looking for a volunteer to take on a duty this Saturday
SS3 Helm – Saturday 30th May – Spring Saturday 10 – Start time 09:30hrs
If you are able to help out with this duty please volunteer through DutyMan or email [email protected]
Thanks in anticipation of your help.

Don’t miss the opportunity to try 23 wines with details of their origin, quizzes and prizes. Not that keen on wine, well we will also have some craft beers to taste. Phone Steve now to get booked for next Saturday on 07947 741946. 

I am delighted to announce that we are holding a wine tasting evening in conjunction with our new suppliers on Saturday 30th May at 7.30pm to select new wines for the Club.

If you would like to attend, please contact Steve at the Galley Kitchen.  Places are priced at a fantastic £8.95 per person or even better £17.00 for two!  This includes an antipasti platter and wine tasting.  Tickets must be booked and paid for in advance, no reservations can be made, and last ticket sales will be taken on Tuesday 26th May.  Please note that no further ticket sales can be taken after this time as both food and wine supplies need to be pre-ordered.  In addition, unfortunately we cannot accommodate anyone on the night who hasn’t pre-booked and numbers are limited so book early!

This should be a very enjoyable night with plenty of lovely wines to sample and raffle prizes courtesy of our new suppliers!

I look forward to seeing you there.

This bank holiday Sunday is the Ladies, Crews and singlehanded races.  These will be 3 separate general handicap trophy races sailed from a mass start at 15:30.  The helm of each boat should be as the name of the trophy suggests; a lady helm (single or double handed boats), any double handed boat with the usual crew helming the boat, or a single handed boat racing as normal.

There should be something for all, but if you are not covered by the above classes then let me know and we will ensure you can race on the day.

Dear all

Just to let you know I won’t be able to open the kitchen today (Tuesday). Apologies for any inconvenience. Normal service will be resumed on Wednesday.

Best wishes to all

Steve

We have had a brilliant weekend training on Seasafe 3 and Seasafe 5 and have six newly qualified powerboat drivers.  Congratulations to Andy Noden, Andrew Webster, Tommy Holmes, Mark Robinson, Oliver Ellis and John Laliberte.

We also enjoyed welcoming our two new RYA Powerboat Instructors, Martin and Jourdan Swindon, who did a great job teaching.

Well done to you all!
