With the weather not improving and Wickes unable to deliver the working party materials today, the working party on Sunday 24th March is cancelled. There won’t be any sailing either, and I’m sorry for any inconvienience. Much of the planned work needed dry conditions with temperatures above freezing: painting, concreting, timber treatment, etc. This [...] It was perishing-cold on Sunday 24th February for the second of 3 winter working parties. A small team braved the conditions to paint walls, stain tables and dig-out the footings for a new path to the floating jetty. Particular mention must go to Harry Janes and Dave Harrison who took to the water to restore 2 more racing marks to their usual positions.

Lunch will be provided as usual. Start time 10 am The work party, which was scheduled for this coming Sunday, has been cancelled. Those who wish to sail may now do so, there is no formal racing organised, however a number of us will be at the club and weather permitting taking to the water. The galley will be open as normal so why [...] Despite the cold weather a number of people turned up for the first work party of the year, Mark Norman, Nick Jones Tim Browning John Simmons and Graziano Spano began the day by removing the debris blocking the path through the gate and in what is becoming something of a work party tradition setting fire to it.

In a change to the schedule the committee has arranged for a working party to take place on Sunday November 7th, the day after Bonfire Night. In order to make room racing has been cancelled on that weekend with a new date set for the last week [...] Sunday 28th March saw the last of the winter working parties in preparation for the Summer Sailing Season which starts on April 4th. A number of tasks were completed and the site is much tidier. In the clubhouse, the curtains are finished and the last few redecoration jobs have been completed. Continue reading this article » Sunday 28th February saw the second working party of the year, and with monsoon conditions and widespread flooding across the site, everyone was welcome of some indoor work. After 3 days, the clubhouse renovations were complete. Nick Jones took a number of photographs which can be seen on the gallery. After 10 years of Yellow and Terracotta, the clubhouse has been completely redecorated over the weekend of 30th & 31st January. Both days were well supported by members and a great deal was achieved in a surprisingly short period of time. A small amount of work remains for the February working party but overall our plans were achieved. Photographs of the saturday team are available on the Gallery |
