It is with regret that we inform you of the death of Fred Jones, a long time club member.

His funeral is on Monday 10th June, at 2,20pm at Southend Crematorium in the South Chapel and afterwards at Thorpe Bay Yacht Club.

Dear Members and Staff,

I am pleased to announce on behalf of the Commodore, myself and the committee that after many weeks interviewing and searching for a permanent Chef, tomorrow, “Fish Friday” will see the introduction of our new Chef James Johnson.

He comes to us with an impressive CV for his young age and is enthusiastic, lively, full of great ideas for food and is looking forward to the challenge of taking on the role of Head Chef and Kitchen Manager as well as serving us all great food.

I trust we can all show him a warm welcome and great support in the coming months for what we feel will be an ongoing venture.

Chef James will be in to serve Lunch and Evening service and in order for a smooth transition he will be accompanied by the outgoing agency chef, Chef Mark who’s “Fish Fridays” have made a great impact.

So please show your support this Friday the 7^th June 2019 by coming and saying Hi to Chef James and a fond goodbye to Chef Mark.

They and I look forward to seeing you all.

Wayne.

Vice Commodore
