Well done to Alex Warrington who attended the Youth Nationals and came a very good 20th out of a very strong fleet of 65 last week. Also Chris Tillyer went to the Laser Masters Nationals and came a very good 13th out of a fleet of 35 in the Radial class with winds 35 – 40 mph over last weekend.

Well done guys from all the Laser fleet

This evening’s menu will be a choice of Fish Pie or Chilli and will be available from the carvery area from 7.00pm.  No need to book, just turn up and enjoy!

If anyone has the Club Bolt Croppers, please could you return them as soon as possible. We have some important jobs that need them. They are blue in colour with red tubular handles.

However, the rusty blue set from the Bosuns hut are also ‘missing in action’ and as we was also thinking of refurbishing them, it would also be nice to get them back.

The final pieces of the history archive for the metal found on the beach have come from Brian Sandford.

It demonstrates how sand can cover the beach one month and be cleared another to show parts of a 28 year old boat. What other artefacts does it hold ?

I thought I had seen the obstruction the boys removed yesterday. it is on a picture I have  from the Hurricane in 1987

We would like to announce our next Friday night dining will be 17th April.

Please book your table early to avoid disappointment by email to [email protected] or call 07947 741946

This object has now been found and removed, thanks for those involved.

Will anybody entering the water or sailing from our beach be aware that currently there is a large metal obstructions in the sand approximately 10 feet away from the West end Breakwater. This maybe visible during early tide but is covered during higher water.

Southend Council have been advised as people have tried to move by hand. Please therefore assume that it is still present until I can advise you otherwise.
