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

John Margarson – Jester Challenge Update.
I two messages from John Yesterday-the first 25 minutes into the challenge to tell us all that he was First over the line and First to the first mark. The 2nd at 22:50hrs on first day to say “All ok, am near Lizard, very light wind. Think I am still in lead but others very close” I have checked this morning 10.00hrs and he is approx 170Km from Plymouth and just past the Scilly Isles.
Go Johnny GO GO G Go.

I could do with a couple of extra heads on the Committee Boat for the Regatta.  Any kind offers to me on 07973 388553 please – even one day would be great.  Vast experience is not essential!  Thanks.

RNLI Pursuit Race. Unfortunately I will be away on August 22nd so will be unable to carry out my Race Office Duty. If anyone is able to swap dates please let me know as soon as possible.
