On behalf of Bob Crane and myself a big thank you to Peter Thompson and Steve Hopper for their invaluable help between 00:15 and 04:00 last Saturday bringing some of the Cruisers as well as the committee boat onto the shore ready for the cranes to lift out. As well as being hard work it was a joy to work with them both. I personally learnt from Peter how valuable a stern line can be as well as receiving a  fantastic fully clothed swimming lesson.

A sincere thanks very much guys. Wayne & Bob.

To everyone who helped on the Work Party yesterday. It was a great success. A special mention for Nick Cotgrove for running the Dinghy Park, Howard Warrington the Bosons Hut and Rick Paxman the Ladies Changing Room. Also special thanks to Graham Dare who is doing some further work today.

I have just been informed that Gordon Sanders worked up to his armpits in brown sludge on Saturday to get both the displacements up and running, he was ably assisted by Toby Speller and a monkey wrench. Thanks guys.

Well done folks,

Chris

the Dinghy Park for the past 2 months next to the
front row of Sprints. There are no details on the

owner of this boat.

There is no racing on Saturday because the tides times are unsuitable, HOWEVER

Sunday; Mass start 8:00 am, impromptu Trophy race followed by a presentation in the bar afterwards (assuming someone knows how to get the results sorted). The kitchen will be open and serving breakfast! See you there,

Chris

I think I left my OS 3 yellow sailing watch in the changing rooms on 

 Sunday, if anyone found it could they leave it behind the bar please?

Many thanks.

Due to ever increasing commitments – and a distinct lack of spare time – I have decided to step down as Cadet Representative at the AGM in November. Would anybody interested in taking on this most worthwhile job please contact me (07790 089860). I will be happy to assist in any way I can. The Firework and Christmas Parties will both already be arranged so handover should be easy.

Many thanks to Howard Hawkes for abandoning his lead over the sprint fleet in order to rescue a cadet who had been whacked on the head by his boom and quite obviously could not get back on his boat this Sunday, top marks Howard.
