Well done to Chris Boshier who came 1st in the Contender Eastern Area Champs BCA Travellers  this weekend at Stone.

We are currently missing a set of keys for SS8 (Olympia) and SS5 (Tornado). These may have been missing for a couple of weeks. We know these are probably still with somebody that had been completing duties, so please could you all have a search around and return then to the office or where they are normally stored.

Photos are now available on our Gallery at Photos of Hobday Trophy on Flickr thanks to Linzi Swindon.

A Leatherman tool has been handed in that was found in the Car Park a couple of weeks ago. Knowing how much these can cost, the owner probably would like it back. If you are that owner please contact me and give me a brief description, just so I know it is yours. Paul Morgan.

I have just been told that due to organisation issues this weekends Laser Open Meeting has been cancelled, they are hoping to re run later in the year. Rick Paxman

Due to unforeseen circumstances we have unfortunately had to cancel the Anniversary weekend fine dining dinner scheduled for Saturday 17th May.

Apologies for any inconvenience this may cause.

I found an item of sailing electronics beside my boat on Friday evening. Please contact me if you have lost anything last week.

It is with deep sadness that I have to announce that Jeremy Mitcham passed away on the morning of 9th May after a long battle with cancer.
Jeremy was a very active member in his early days before moving to Australia to continue with his sailing career.
Our sincere condolences to Sophie, Chloe, Max, Merle, Victoria, Penny and family.
