Please can you email Roger Evans if you are able to help out, or give him a bell on his mobile (07829 737105) if you should anyone have any queries.

Club Championship 2013
The Sailing Secretary has published the list of qualifiers and NOR for this year’s club Championships event on the 22 September. Well done to all the sailors that have qualified this year.

Annual cruise to Les Ecrehou
The club’s annual cruise to Les Ecrehou reef is scheduled for Sunday 8th September. The tide is not quite as low as last year so cricket on the Ecreviere Bank is not going to be possible however it is still a spring tide so plenty of the reef to explore & generally chill out.
The plan is to depart St Inflatable Water Slide Catherine’s at 11:00hrs returning to the slip at 17:30hrs. Members should bring their own lunch and we will also take along a few portable barbecues for those who want to be more adventuress with their cooking. To cover cost of petrol we are asking for £5.00 per adult £2.50 per child under 16 payable at the time. Children must be accompanied by an adult.
As always this event is very much reliant on fine weather & the number of places will be dependent on availability of sufficient motor boats.
To help with the organising we are asking members to register their interest by the 1st September by sending an email to Martin Speller detailing names & numbers.
