Over the winter season Chris Boshier and I have been refitting the club picos. They have new ropes, tillers and sails.
We are just waiting on a couple of parts and new trolley wheels. They should be good to go by the Easter weekend.
If you are planning to use one and I have not posted here that they are ready, please email me and I will confirm which one to use.
Thank you Chris for all your help.

Two very talented musicians will be performing live throughout the afternoon. No charge for entry, all welcome.

I advise anyone wishing to eat to book a table. Howard will be doing a carvery!       [email protected]

Hope to see you all there 🎶🎶

Sandhopper and Cruiser Lift In – Saturday 30th and Sunday 31st March

All members – Please note that whilst the lift in is in progress, access to the dinghy park and adjacent car park will not be possible. This is due to the club’s health and safety policy and risk assessments.

If you are wanting to work on your boats please do so only before and after the lift in is complete. The bar and kitchen are open so enjoy the facilities for a couple of hours.

Thank you for your understanding and co-operation

The club has an ever increasing number of Picos and Lasers with a finite amount of space in which to keep them.

We would like to encourage members to buy and sell boats within the club so that current numbers can be maintained and the usage of boats increases.

We have a number of new members looking for such boats and would like anybody looking to sell in 2019 to let me know so that we can match seller to buyer.

Existing boats should be easily identified by either having the numbers written on the cover or a clearly readable tag on the trolley.

Our ultimate aim would be for all boats to be used regularly throughout the year but realise that it does not always work out that way. Please don’t just leave the boat unused for 2019.

We have received notice that Pico 12411 has been put up for sale – the cost is £ 990 ono. Please contact me or Janet for further details – details and pictures can be found on the club’s notice board.

Thank you all in anticipation of your cooperation in this matter.

If you want to choose your duties online you have until end of Sunday 10th Feb to do so. After that I’ll be allocating duties to fill in the gaps for those who have not already done it.

Thanks to all those who have used the online option so far and those who have send me dates directly. Any feedback on this years approach is always welcome.

Please see my earlier post on 30 Jan for more details.
