Thorpe Bay Yacht Club

I am excited to announce that a free night of entertainment will be provided for all members on Thursday 17th April from 6.00pm to 9.00pm.

JB Entertainments is working with us on certain events this year and is keen to showcase some of their acts.  They will therefore be bringing some tribute acts along to entertain us (Olly Murs and Michael Buble to name a few!), along with some finalists from this year’s Essex Factor (previous finalists have appeared in the final line up of X Factor).  Posters will be up around the Clubhouse giving further details.

Don’t forget that food is available on Thursdays from 5.00 pm, so why not make a night of it!

All members are welcome, so come along and enjoy some ‘famous’ faces at no cost whatsoever!!

After more challenging and exciting conditions today, tomorrow morning sees the conclusion of the Icicle Series and Winter sailing at TBYC.  This year for the first time sailors have been racing in a General Handicap fleet for an overall series trophy, with four individual classes running in Tandem.

The Winter and Icicle Series have been well supported this year, with 63 boats racing before Christmas and 52 in this year’s Icicle Series. The one course and mass start have been popular with sailors and have made for an exciting series between all classes in a wide range of testing conditions.

The Winter and Icicle Series Prize giving will be held in the main bar at around 14.30 tomorrow, Sunday.  So come down, enjoy the carvery and support all TBYC and visiting sailors who have raced this winter.

As your old Racing Calendar comes to an end, you was just wondering where the next 12 months is going to come from. The Calendar is currently with the printers for this coming year (Apr14-Mar15) and is expected to be behind the Bar for purchase this weekend. We have sourced a new supplier and therefore there has been an excellent price reduction for this year.

The 2014 price is £8.

We have ordered a similar amount to last year, however if we run out please pay and we will submit a further order at the end of the month. All the racing dates in a popular format, with familiar scenes and saving you loads of time writing the programme up somewhere else.

Last chance to book!!
