Thorpe Bay Yacht Club

The Cruising Section is hosting a Quiz in the bar this Tuesday 12th March, and ALL MEMBERS are welcome.

It would be great if some of the other sailing sections got together a team – usually 4 – 6; we’d love to see more of you Sandhoppers, Fevas, Picos, Cats, Finns, Lasets, Sprints etc.

But you don’t need a team – just come by yourself and we’ll find you (and you’ll find us) convivial company!

There is no need to book; entry is £2 head which pays for the prizes.  (No food provided so eat first.)

Our quizzes are always challenging, interesting and fun and an enjoyable, healthily competitive evening is had by all.

(Sorry for the short notice…  see Cruising Sailing Dates  for forthcoming events. )

cheers

Bill (for Derek, Rear-Commodore Cruising)
