Hi, just wanted to give everyone a quick update on progress. The kitchen is now clean!
Food stuffs and produce are being ordered and delivered from Wednesday which will allow me to start cooking preparations for a limited lunchtime menu on Thursday. There is still a lot of work ahead over the next few days and weeks, but I’m very encouraged by the progress made so far, support from the committee and the very kind messages I have received from fellow members.
More updates will follow

Howard

Please ensure that your boat is marked with its sail number, and, if relevant, that halyards are secured away from the mast.

I am delighted to welcome Howard Fruin, a long time member of the club, to the role of Kitchen Manager. Howard joins us from the kitchen at Billy Hundred’s along the seafront and is employed directly by the club. Howard starts work today cleaning and organising the kitchen. The kitchen will remain closed until at least Thursday lunchtime – more details to follow, watch this space.

Working with Howard, we have big plans as to how we can transform the kitchen and the catering experience delivered by the club but please remember Rome wasn’t built in a day.

The kitchen will be closed on Sunday 26th Nov and therefore lunch will not be served.

In preparation for the Christmas Ball the Main Bar will close at 2pm on Saturday 9th December. The Commodore Bar will be open until 4.00pm

Cadet Week 2018 is from 23rd to 27th July.

Due to a seriously disappointing lack of support the prize giving supper has been cancelled. Refunds behind the bar with your ticket.

Prize Giving will however still be taking place starting at 8pm. Many prizes to be handed out with the support of your classes. Look forward to seeing you Saturday.
