Summer has arrived just in time for our first Oppie Beach club. We start this Saturday at 14:00 (changed by the back of the clubhouse). Oppie Beach Club is open to all cadets and adults new to sailing who wish to get on the water for some informal tuition, practice skills form last year or just get in a boat with someone else for the first time. Parents are expected to help hold boats in the water if their child is participating.

On Friday at 7pm we will be going down to the dinghy park to look at how to rig different boats. This is useful for cadets and adults who don’t know or can’t quite remember how to rig and Oppie, Pico or Laser.

In the bar before and after the rigging session I am going to trial a Sailing kit exchange where you can bring any unwanted or too small kit and donate it to the cadets, if the kit is what you need for this year then you may take it and will be expected to provide a small paper donation do the Cadet fund. Thank you.

This week, Howard is offering the following fantastic menu:-

Chorizo bites

Chorizo sausage and bean casserole (highly recommended!)

“Curry night” – with a choice of Chicken Madras or Chicken Korma with rice and a naan

The usual homemade burgers and Cadet menu

Desserts:

The usual selection plus Naga Chilli ice cream (dare you try it!)

So come down and enjoy the first bit of proper sunshine for ages in a relaxed atmosphere whilst someone else cooks you delicious food!

6 Nations Rugby will unfortunately not be on our Large Screen this Saturday due to a Private Party in the main bar starting at 3 pm.

Don’t forget the following Saturday will see the final 3 matches starting at 12:30. England will be playing Ireland at 2:45 pm. It will also be St Patrick’s day, which is always a reason for celebration!
