Sunday was 25 mph Gusting 35 mph but was the challenge for Chris Boshier in his Contender and four Sprints to head off to Leigh on Sea.

A big well done to Chris for defending the trophy and taking it for the second year and to Daren Fitchew who took second place. We understand that a few other club sailors were also in contention but had been disqualified due to mark errors.

Thanks also goes to Toby and our safety crews that escorted our sailors for the day.

Finished the packing, planned the cooking. Why not come down, have a break and spend some time at the club on Christmas Eve.

The Bar will be open with some nibbles and mince pies. What a good time to get together and have a chat with friends.

Lesley is already known to most of you and has offered to deliver a Weekday Lunchtime service until we identify a new permanent caterer. Although only a few days before Christmas she will also be continuing after. Christmas times are soon to be published.

I am sure you realise Lesley will have to settle in to know the expected numbers, however plans to offer the following choices at £6-£7 (there maybe a few changes before she starts so check the table talkers on the day):

The Buffet is still being served.

Please phone Sara soon and arrange your tickets.

Thanks to Toby &  Miles for todays filming.

Scott unfortunately sustained an injury in the kitchen yesterday and therefore will not be able to cater today.
