The Cruising Section is hosting a Quiz in the bar this Tuesday 12th March, and ALL MEMBERS are welcome.

It would be great if some of the other sailing sections got together a team – usually 4 – 6; we’d love to see more of you Sandhoppers, Fevas, Picos, Cats, Finns, Lasets, Sprints etc.

But you don’t need a team – just come by yourself and we’ll find you (and you’ll find us) convivial company!

There is no need to book; entry is £2 head which pays for the prizes.  (No food provided so eat first.)

Our quizzes are always challenging, interesting and fun and an enjoyable, healthily competitive evening is had by all.

(Sorry for the short notice…  see Cruising Sailing Dates  for forthcoming events. )

cheers

Bill (for Derek, Rear-Commodore Cruising)

Dear all,

Following a review of the first few races of the Spring series, which resulted in races 1,2,3 & 4 being rerun on Sunday 27 May after the racing was postponed on the Saturday. The committee feel that some competitors may not have received sufficient notice of the changes.

We have therefore taken the decision that the Spring series will only count as being races 5&6 to be run on Saturday 9th June as indicated in the racing programme.

Some great racing took place on Sunday so this is therefore being treated as a miniseries and prizes are to be given to the top three boats which sailed in all four races. 

Fun was had by all with plenty of practice starts in glorious sunshine. The top three boats of that miniseries were;

1.    Sophie Boygle and Genevieve Bailey
2.    Harry Boygle and Olivia Petty-Mayor
3.    Amy Chapman 

Well done to all who took part.

In future if a days racing has to be postponed then we will take the decision at the time whether to rerun the races on another day. Any decision made will be clearly given and notified on the club notice board, website and via e-mail.

Let’s hope this weather stays with us and continues for the Summer series.

Johnno
