I said to my wife, “Just going out on the bike for a bit of exercise dear”

“Try not to be long, you know we’ve got to get up to Waitrose”

I thought I would celebrate the end of my seventh decade on planet Earth, incidentally six of them as a member of TBYC, with a bit of a project not akin to sailing this time.

On July 2nd David Johnson and I plan to cycle from St. Pauls Cathedral to Notra Dame in Paris together with a few friends who have agreed to join us.

Some years ago a chum had to deal with the daily trauma of life with a son with Leukaemia. Since then two further friends have had to deal with the same daily upheaval with the disease with the inevitable hospital treatment. For them, they at least had the financial resources to help cope with the burden. Others, in different circumstances, do not.

We therefore have decided to support Children with Leukaemia with this ride together with a 1/3rd going to a local children’s charity Little Havens.

We all are paying all our travel and accommodation expenses, so everything donated plus gift aid, if appropriate, will all go to these causes.

We wonder if any fellow TBYC members may be kind enough to give us a little support with sponsorship, of whatever size ?

I have set up a charity web site account on http://uk.virginmoneygiving.com/ianstobart. so either, if you feel so inclined please log in there or alternatively you can ring me on 01702 587894 with your much appreciated sponsorship.

Many thanks

I would like to pay tribute and give thanks to Kylie and her events team for a superb Summer Ball. Kylie has set the bar extremely high now for social events for the rest of the season which I look forward in supporting.

I would particularly like to thank JO and her team from AForderble Catering for serving a great meal with such a variety of choices. All served with a smile.

In particular I would like to thank our new Assistant Bar Manager Lorraine Merchant for keeping bar, members and guests well stocked for this event, coming as it does in her first week of employment at TBYC. Table service by the bar is much appreciated by all members and guests, well done.

A great event for Thorpe Bay Yacht Club.

The count down to the summer ball has now begun… Only three weeks to dust off those suits and buy new outfits.

Anyone who has already booked tickets and not paid yet please can you do so as soon as possible, either give me a call or leave your cheques/cash in an envelope in the club letter box. Also anyone still left to give their menu choices to Jo, please can you do this asap.

For those of you still umming and ahhing about coming, there are still a limited number of tickets available, but be quick before they all sell out.

This year’s entertainment is provided by the band Hardcover, they have played at the club before and proved to be very popular.

If you would like tickets or need to cough up cash please give me a call on 07734904824 or email [email protected]

Don’t miss out on the event of the year!
