Well done to all those who participated in the RS Feva Mini series ‘Cake’ competition last Saturday.
There were five close races with Sam and Jacob winning by ONE point !! Thanks to Karen Elmore and Henry Petty-Major for their wonderful cakes.
I will hold another ‘Cadet Evening’ training session on Thursday 3rd April, (this week) starting at 8.00 pm in the training room.
The programme for Thursday:
Plan activities for the next three weeks when we have access to a ‘training’ rib. (Starting this SUNDAY).
Look at Spinnaker control. Discussion and Video.
We always welcome new Cadets to the class. You can join in the training on Sunday with a Pico, if you wish! Just ring or E-mail me on 07815 113459 or [email protected].
I am excited to announce that a free night of entertainment will be provided for all members on Thursday 17th April from 6.00pm to 9.00pm.
JB Entertainments is working with us on certain events this year and is keen to showcase some of their acts. They will therefore be bringing some tribute acts along to entertain us (Olly Murs and Michael Buble to name a few!), along with some finalists from this year’s Essex Factor (previous finalists have appeared in the final line up of X Factor). Posters will be up around the Clubhouse giving further details.
Don’t forget that food is available on Thursdays from 5.00 pm, so why not make a night of it!
All members are welcome, so come along and enjoy some ‘famous’ faces at no cost whatsoever!!
Don’t miss the start of the Racing Calendar which covers 12 months from Apr14-Mar15. The Calendar is available for purchase at the club bar with an excellent price reduction for this year.
The 2014 price is £8 (previously £12).
We have ordered a similar amount to last year, however if we run out please pay and we will submit a further order at the end of the month. All the racing dates in a popular format, with familiar scenes and saving you loads of time writing the programme up somewhere else.
You will have seen that in order to accommodate more sailors coming off the water who require a ‘post sailing’ snack, from this weekend Scott has very kindly added some items to his menu – pre-made baguettes or mug of soup and a roll. He will also be offering a quick, one-pot option for those who require something more substantial – this weekend it’s chilli and rice!
He will be taking orders prior to sailing (look out for an order form next to the sign-on/off sheets in the bosun’s hut in the next couple of weeks to save you some time) for those who require a quick turnaround, and your food will be ready when you return.
Please support Scott in his efforts to accommodate us!
As from this weekend there will be post sailing dishes such as mug of soup, pre ordered baguettes, and chilli and rice they will be advertised all will be cheap and cheerful.
