Latest results show a good improvement in
Bar and Restaurant results compared with last
year and undoubtedly our Function income
has been a great help in boosting the Bar and
Restaurant figures.
Restaurant and Bar
Activities
There are exciting times ahead for the
operation of the bar and restaurant. Manuèle
Jenkin (“Manu”) has excellent ideas for
improving the Club bar area.
The weather has been kind so far this
summer and one or more cruises have gone
ahead most weekends, including a Motor
Section cruise to the Channel Islands. In fact,
it’s been such a good summer that RC Motors
was spotted bathing in Newtown Creek one
sunny day!
Shepherd Neame will be advising on how we
can make the bar more welcoming and
comfortable while retaining the friendly,
informal aspect of the area.
Our winter menu will be introduced this month
with striking new covers. The Specials board
meals will be reduced in number so look out
for your staple choices which will all be
included in future in the table menu. This
move is expected to reduce congestion at the
serving hatch. Please be patient while the
improved selection arrangement kicks in.
There is much to entertain our members in
October:
On the first weekend of the month the YS
organised a cruise to Bucklers Hard while
Motors were making their way to Gosport.
In addition to cruises and dinghy racing, we
have a fascinating Winter Lecture by Mark
Bray, Southampton Pilot, at 10:30 on Sunday
16th.
On 29th we have the Laying Up Supper
followed by the Club AGM on Sunday.
With the close of the season and reduced
activity on the water, the restaurant will be
busy at the weekends so do get in early.
