In light of the fact there is a rather important game for England this evening (!), the Rugby will be showing in the Commodore’s Bar.

We have therefore arranged for the Magic Show with Oliver Tabor to commence around 9.15-9.30pm to allow for this so that everyone can join in with the free members’ evening.

In addition, you will be able to order Tapas on a ‘walk-in’ basis from the hatch if you wish to have some food this evening but haven’t pre-booked.  Those who have pre-booked will be given priority for the dishes and the time they wish to have food.  Those who order on the evening will be served as soon as possible strictly on a first-come-first-served basis.

I look forward to seeing you there!

A dynamic group of youngsters represented Thorpe Bay Yacht Club in this year’s Interclub Team Race, hosted by Thames Estuary Yacht Club. Last Sunday the TBYC team won the Cadet class for the second year running. Peter Snow, Millie and Vicky Little, Greg Watson and Jacob Allard left the beach in windy conditions and were escorted around the pier to practise their starts and get used to the pretty difficult conditions. The ‘Little’ girls made an excellent start leading their class, whilst Peter Snow was steadily moving up the fleet eventually gaining first place by the end of the race. All the team performed well and are a credit to our club.

Don’t miss out on this free social event it’s open to all members and their friends. The Galley Kitchen have said they will be able to still serve people on the night even if you haven’t prebooked.

I am pleased to say that the next free members’ night will take place on Saturday 3rd October.

We will be offering you something slightly different this time and are very excited to announce that Oliver Tabor, a multi-award winning member of the Magic Circle and one of the top magicians in the country will be entertaining us with a night of magic.  We are very fortunate to be able to welcome Oliver to the club – as you can imagine he is in great demand and gets booked up a long way in advance!

For those who wish to make a night of it, our caterers will be offering something slightly different in the form of ‘British Tapas’.  Food must be booked in advance via the attached form (you will also need to book a time for dining) and the deadline for food orders is strictly 12 noon on Tuesday 29th September.

The evening will run as follows:  Food from 7.00pm onwards; Entertainment from 9.00pm.

Cadets are very welcome to come along if they would like to join in and can stay awake long enough!

3 Thorpe Bay Lasers travelled to the lovely Tollesbury Sailing Club on Sunday 27th September, as usual we were greeted on our arrival with bacon butties and tea and coffee to start the day. There was a lovely 12mph breeze and clear blue skies. 15 Lasers entered which was 7 visitors and 8 home boats, the racing was very close and all 3 races were back to back of 2 longish laps with good beats, reaches and runs making for exciting racing in a steadily building breeze.

The end results were;

Rick Paxman 1st, 1st, 2nd for overall 1st place
Nick Turner 6th, 6th, 4th for overall 5th place
Michael Airey 11th, 7th, 6th for overall 7th place

This is a must again for next year.
