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)

Hello everyone,

Just a quick reminder if you are looking to lunch at the club on Sunday for Mothers Day, to book a table fast as we have a lot of bookings already but we wouldn’t like any of our mummies missing out on our yummy Carvery on their special day.

Please ring me ‘Lisa’ on my new work number 07851759265 and I’ll reserve your table for you.

There are 3 meats on the Carvery this Sunday which are: honey roasted gammon, roast chicken and stuffed pork belly with all our usual trimmings from 12:30 until 2:30. Also as a wee treat for our special mums the chefs at Fuud ltd have made special homemade choc’s which I’m sure I will have to taste test!

The prices are as follows: 1 course £8.00, 2 courses £10.00 or 3 courses for £12.50.

Hope to see you all Sunday.

Kind regards Lisa @fuud ltd.

Coming up… all welcome!

Current activities

Root Dig – there was no need for a Root Dig this year.

Moorings – no rationalisation of moorings this season, to give time for full consideration;
If you want to move closer to the beach and slip, there are roots free in the cruiser section (contact Bill)
Remember to check and overhaul your mooring.

Lift-in – the small cruisers in the boat-park will be lifted in by contractors fork-lift on Sunday 24th (the day after the Sandhoppers).  Please keep clear of the boat-park whilst this is in progress.

Polly – Polly’s engine & electrics are being refurbished to tune of £1,000, and we are trying a small platform inside the gunwale to make boat to boat transfers easier and safer.
There will be help needed for anti-fouling etc. Please answer the call!
