Sara- Huge Thanks after Quiz Night
I would just like to say a huge thank you to Monica and John Howard for a fantastic quiz night last night at Thorpe Bay Yacht Club. Great organisation and a brilliant mix of questions.
An even bigger thanks to them for donating this year’s proceeds to my new charity, Big Purple Pants.
On behalf of my fellow Trustees and I – Toby, Steve Hopper, Malachy O’Sullivan, Claire Wood and Carole Sims – I would like to thank everyone who attended and gave so generously.
From a £3 per head entry fee, £5 per strip raffle and inpromptu auction, an enormous, staggering £1,615 was raised!!!
Thank you to everyone who came along, to everyone who bought raffle tickets, to everyone who donated auction items and to everyone who bid and paid for those items.
What a great club we have with wonderful people!
Thank you, thank you, thank you – you have all directly helped local people with secondary cancer. That is something to be immensely proud of.

Dinghy Park – For Sale!
The club has an ever increasing number of Picos and Lasers with a finite amount of space in which to keep them.
We would like to encourage members to buy and sell boats within the club so that current numbers can be maintained and the usage of boats increases.
We have a number of new members looking for such boats and would like anybody looking to sell in 2019 to let me know so that we can match seller to buyer.
Existing boats should be easily identified by either having the numbers written on the cover or a clearly readable tag on the trolley.
Our ultimate aim would be for all boats to be used regularly throughout the year but realise that it does not always work out that way. Please don’t just leave the boat unused for 2019.
We have received notice that Pico 12411 has been put up for sale – the cost is £ 990 ono. Please contact me or Janet for further details – details and pictures can be found on the club’s notice board.
Thank you all in anticipation of your cooperation in this matter.
