Congratulations to Howard Hawkes, for 4th place in group 1 of the Nore race last week and winning the Yachting News Trophy – well done Howard. Also well done to the intrepid Daren Fitchew who apparently lost his mast in the mouth of the medway put it up again, finished the race, then lost it again! Incredible. Way to go Daren. Finish at all costs.

We are holding a ‘blind’ wine tasting night on Friday February 25th to establish a new wine list for 2011.

It will be a blind tasting, so no labels on show. This is to get the best wine list possible.

Tickets cost £15 and include all wines and buffet.

Tickets are limited to only 80.

A big thank you to all members who supported the working party a great deal was achieved in a small amount of time. Including Slipway Clean, Displacement support boats pressure washed, Committee Boat sanded/prepared plus the inside of hulls were cleaned out prior to repair by some willing Cadets. Clubhouse & kitchen repair tasks were also completed. Thanks to those who also did the running around procuring last minute tools / supplies.

Next working party is planned for Sat 19th March @ 10am when hopefully it will be considerably warmer!
