Dear All,

There is still plenty of sailing to take part in at Shearwater over these next two months, but looking towards the end of our sailing season I am pleased to announce that our Annual Dinner, Dance and Prize Giving will be taking place on Friday 28th Noverber 2014 @ 7 for 7.30pm at The Mill Rode.

This is a fantastic venue and this year we have a very exciting menu to choose from which I list below. In addition live music will be provided by the Bill Lynn Trio plus Special Guests, playing a broad range of both jazz and popular music.

Tickets are priced at £26 each and once again to encourage our younger members to join us for this event Junior tickets will be £16.

Please feel free to bring along any family members or friends to join us for this special evening in our Club calender, and a chance to get dressed up for a good night out.

Shearwater’s results are now posted on the Bart’s Bash website @ www.bartsbash.co.uk/results. Please note these results are based upon ‘The Bart Number’ handicap system rather than a PY number. Bart’s Bash 2 will be held on Sunday 20th September 2015.

A big thank you to all who competed and those who helped make Shearwater’s Bart’s Bash such a great event today. A total of 20 dinghies entered and a sum of £105 in voluntary entry fees was raised together with a further £14 in cakes sales thanks to the efforts of Pat Jones and Christine Langley. All funds raised will go to the work of the Andrew Simpson Sailing Foundation.
Shearwater results data will be submitted on-line within the next 24 hours for Bart’s Bash with overall positions being published on www.bartsbash.co.uk when all results from clubs taking part are in. This may take some time given the numbers.
In the meantime we can announce our own results for Shearwater based upon an Average Lap Race as follows:
1st Jack Langley
2nd Chris Mulholland
3rd Mike Dickins
1st Lady Helm Yvonne Smith
1st Youth Fraser Jones

Next Sunday 21st September 2014 is Bart’s Bash, one race starting at 11am. This is an Open Event so Members and Non Members alike are welcome. Please make this a success. You can register on-line to race at Shearwater at www.bartsbash.co.uk/race-entries or at the Club on the day.

Please do not be put off registering on-line when asked to open an account as no credit card or other financial information will be requested just your address and dinghy class details. A number of Members have been put off the registration process due to the word ‘account’ being used.
