Hi All,
The sailing committee has arranged a series of engaging and entertaining talks for you to get you in the mood for the coming season and remind you how some things work.

Get together at 8pm for a 8.30pm start, so some dates for your diary are

8th March – Rupert on Rules
5th April –John on Seasafe 4
3rd May – David on resins, laminating etc.
TBC – Alan Willis – Race Officering

Please come along and have a beer and a chat with your fellow sailors, in fact, even if you don’t sail regularly, come along, meet some people and maybe learn something interesting.

Why bother cooking at the end of a tiring week when you can come down to the Club, kick back and relax in a friendly environment whilst someone else does the hard work!

This Friday, Howard will be offering the following delicious selection from 5.30pm to 7.30pm:

Cadets £4.00:

Beef lasagne

Mini burger, fish fingers or chicken nuggets, with chips, jacket or mash, beans or peas

Adults £7.50:

Chicken curry with basmati rice and naan bread

Burger, chips and salad

Goats cheese tart on a red onion & maple marmalade

Mushroom risotto

As usual, booking is helpful to the chef if you know you are definitely coming, however please equally feel free to just turn up.

If you know you will be slightly later than 7.30pm, perhaps due to getting back from work, please do get in touch with Howard so that he can try to accommodate you.

Any specific dietary requirements (e.g. no dairy, gluten free, etc), again please get in touch with Howard so that he can accommodate your needs.

Look forward to seeing you there tomorrow night!

Brunch cooked by members of the General Committee, under the guidance and support of Martin Swindon & Mick Kilkelly, on New Year’s Day.

Mindful waistbands aren’t the only thing tight at this time of year we have reduced ticket prices from last year.

Tickets £7.50 per person (Children £4.50) on sale now behind the bar or from the Office.

We have five sittings for brunch:
11:00 – 11:30am
11:30 – 12:00pm
12:00 – 12:30pm
12:30 – 1:00pm
1:00 – 1:30pm

You’ll need to select your sitting when you buy your tickets. You are welcome to arrive at any time and we would encourage you to stay around afterwards but we will need you to vacate your table at the end of the sitting you have booked – this is so we can accommodate as many people who want to enjoy Brunch – this is a very popular event and a great way to start the New Year.

The brunch is a ticket-only event (the bar is open to all) and places are limited, please buy your tickets as soon as possible to avoid disappointment.

The bar will be open serving Bucks Fizz, Bloody Mary and all your other favourites.
