Robin, our Commodore, has been away
in south-west France, enjoying a well-
earned break but with poor internet
connectivity.
Therefore, this month, news is coming
from the “Crow’s Nest” instead.
After a full-on August, September has
been another busy month with lots
happening on and off the water.
There have been several RYA Dinghy
and Power Boat training courses, youth
and adult Club coaching, Dinghy and
Yacht racing as well as several Motor and
Yacht cruises, when the weather
permitted.
On land, we have had a very successful
South American Club Social with Latin
dancing tuition which proved very popular
and Andy and his team put together a
Mexican menu including nachos, burritos
and chilli and lime chicken.
I dusted the cobwebs off my clubs and
joined members, ex-members and staff
on the beautifully manicured Hill Barn
Golf course for CYC’s Annual Golf
tournament.
In spite of a mixed game, it was a
really enjoyable day and it would
be great to have more ladies
joining us next year.
Our Macmillan coffee morning is
being organised, as I write, by a
super team of ladies from the
Yacht Section. It is sure to be
another great success this year
and our thanks must go to all the
organisers, volunteers, bakers
and visitors for their support.
Next month we can look forward
amongst other events to CYC
Ramblers, the first of our Winter
Lecture and Mini-Lecture series,
our New Members’ Reception on
20th October and the Laying Up
Supper.
