Yes it’s that time of year again. And it’s in a good cause. No brainer really (and a mince pie)…

Those among you with better memories may recall receiving an email yesterday about the Club Christmas lunch. Particularly it encouraged you to book early as numbers were limited. By last night it was fully booked, sorry. There will be a waiting list in the event we have any cancellations. To sign up for this please...

With enormous thanks to all those who contributed so generously, we now have Fusion Pro sail number 444 on the quay.  I know that’s sail number 7 but it’s the same otherwise!

At a hastily convened meeting of the Club 400 Committee (typo section) it was decided that £321.80 for third place was a bit OTT, so the prize was arbitrarily reduced by 90%…

In Sarah’s absence the draw was run by Gill West. Probably a good thing, as Sarah won!

In Third place:the 73 people who submitted variations on “Between Rock and a hard place” Second place: “Must get the satnav fixed”: Michael Somers First place: “It wasn’t there when I parked it..”. – Roger Williams who wins his 15 minutes of fame.
