Another fantastic week had by all, thank you to all who helped in the Stingray Group this year. A massive thank you to Rupert and Debbie for all their hard work during the year. Thanks also to Mike for all the work getting the Oppies and equipment up to scratch in the weeks prior to Cadet week. To all the Team Leaders and helpers, who all gave the children some fantastic instruction throughout the week and were great sports who entered the spirit of the event from day 1. Many thanks also to the Guys and Girls on the Rescue boats, Bosuns Hut, Road crossing duties, Catering and behind the bar. A big thank you also to Peter Thompson for all the hard work he does behind the scenes, which probably most of us never see! The biggest thank you of all goes to the children, who once again, were a credit to their parents and Thorpe Bay Yacht, the future of the club certainly looks bright. Thanks again and see you on the beach next year, Mark.

Had previously posted that unable to fulfill above duty due to holiday abroad, but don’t think anyone contacted to offer swap. Please let me know if anyobe can swap – September dates onwards preferable. Thanks, Dan B (o7973 715522)
