Conditions permitting, we will start Oppie Beach club on Saturday 29th April.

The club boats are of course still available should you wish to sail today, just help yourself and remember to wash everything down and put it away after you. lub safety boats will be covering main racing, there will be no Cadet Rib patrolling the beach.

If there are ever any problems with club Optimists please let me know or if its Pico related, tell Nick Cotgrove.

Many thanks to Tony Padbury & Janet for a brilliant evening, the questions were excellent and it was great to see the teams from age 15 to 80 all enjoying a lovely time together.

We should do it more then once a year, lots of very positive feedback in the boat park this morning.

Thanks again from the fleet and friends.
