Well what a great summer.
As I am writing this month’s magazine
contribution, there is a strong wind blowing and
rain lashing against the windows. It didn’t seem
that long ago that we were complaining that
the weather was too hot!!
As our sailing season draws to a close, we can
look back at an active summer programme of
cruising, both long distance to the West
Country and the Continent and short-day
cruising in the harbour, together with an active
dinghy racing programme.
Member Survey
The survey is now closed. We have had a
really good response, so thank you to all of you
who participated. A summary of the key
findings will be published in next month’s
magazine.
Our annual Laying Up Supper will be held at
the end of October. So, it will be great
opportunity to catch up with friends and
reminisce about the summer.
But don’t think you can now take life easier in
the winter months. We are now starting our
active winter programme of activities. These
include:

Toe and Snowflake Racing Series
Club Annual General Meeting
The Club’s AGM this year will be held on
Sunday 28th October at 1500 at the Club.
This is good opportunity to hear how the Club
is doing, to find out what our programme of
activities will be for 2019 and also to have your
say in helping to shape the future of the Club.
Happy sailing
Hope to see you at the Club soon
Our sections’ Friday night socials will continue,
together with our Club Social programme.
