The bank holiday weekend is nearly upon us with all the excitement of the annual Thorpe Bay Regatta. Let’s keep everything crossed that the weather is kind to us!
We kick the weekend off as usual with our popular weekly Cadet & Families Night on Friday. A couple of brilliant activities are planned (aside from the usual games) and we would encourage all cadets and adults to join in:-
- Throw Line Training – Throw lines are an essential piece of safety kit which enables the rapid deployment of a floating line to either a swimmer in the water or another boat that requires a tow. David Elkington has kindly offered to oversee this training – he is an experienced sailor/safety boat helm and also a qualified Paramedicso has lots of experience in the correct use of these.
- How to correctly fold and put away an Oppie rig – not as easy as it looks, but helps to prolong the life of the equipment that we all enjoy using!
Kitchen opening times for the weekend are as follows:-
Friday: usual lunch times plus 5.30pm-8.00pm
Saturday: 10am – 8pm
Sunday: 10am – 8pm
Monday: 10am – 3pm
