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.

We look forward to your safe return and the return party???.

For those that do not know John, he sailed his boat Fluffy, a Fgaro 1 to Plymouth a few weeks ago and is about to return to her to ready himself for his next Jester Challenge.

This  leaves Plymouth on the 23rd May 2010 across the Atlantic for Rhode Island USA. A  single handed challenge with no rules as such; and is for boats under 30ft.

I have a problem regarding Cadet Week which I am sure others also have.

Many Thanks to Pete Thompson, Kylie and Struan on behalf of his Sprogs for offering to do my Duty. I beleive its Alex or Scott who may be doing it.  Much appreciated. And again to Pete for offering to help, if he can, on Polly.
