Fitting Out Supper & Barn Dance Friday 28th February 2014

As last year was so successful our Fitting Out Supper will also include a Barn Dance with music provided by Raggle Taggle who were excellent last year together with our very own Caller and Rear Commodore Peter Barnes. The event will take place on 28th February starting at 7.30pm at Sutton Veny Village Hall. This is not far from Shearwater and has plenty of parking. Tickets are now on sale and include a meal with desert of sticky toffee pudding for £6 juniors and £12 adults. This is a wonderful family inclusive event and a great way of starting off our calendar for the year and fund raising for your Club which I hope you will support. As a fund raising event please feel free to bring along family and friends as we want to make this a successful and enjoyable evening. Tickets can either be purchased at one of the Working Parties or through this link

Working Parties on 8th and 22nd February 2014

We have the two Working Parties on Saturday 8th and 22nd from 9.30 until 2pm. These give the Club an opportunity of getting housekeeping and maintenance items out of the way in preparation for the season. No particular skills are required other than a willingness to ‘muck in’ with whatever needs doing from general cleaning and painting to strimming and general tidying up of the dinghy park. This year we need specifically to sort out the mooring lines and fender to the main jetty and so we do specifically require assistance from those with power tools and who may have worked on the jetty previously. For new Members who joined during 2013 this is a great way of meeting other Members and a bonus for all is that hot soup and rolls will be provided. This year as certain tasks are best suited to milder weather a further Working Party will take place on Saturday 10th May when the Men’s Changing will be tackled in advance of the Gilmer Trophy event.
