Eight of us assembled on the landing stage this morning, the ice has gone to be replaced by scale sized waves which were challenging for the faint hearted. There were five Club Boats running in
and everyone is talking tactics and itching to get racing.
Nice to see Christina and Olivia at the lakeside, we are missing some of our junior members.
Highlights of the morning were when Evelyn's Wicked Lady decided to hide under the floating jetty (must be shy and not so wicked as we thought) and when Hons Secs Club Boat 500 did a James Bond exit from the lake and landed minus prop on the foreshore, result of having two beige boats on the lake at once and not knowing which one you are controlling.
Goood news ! the council have started enlarging the car park and the fountain is now operating properly.
Well done the Rangers for keeping the landing stage clean and tidy and opening the rest room for us. All in all everything looks promising for the year ahead and we are sure to have some fun.
After Sailing, Christine, Ian and Evelyn and Ships Scribe decided to recce our new GM meeting and Luncheon club venue at the Stanley Arms. We all agreed that we have sourced a good venue,great food at a reasonable price - and lots of it ! Traditional log fire to warm our cockles and friendly staff to boot.
Our meetings will take place in the glass extension show in the above picture
Wonderful Day....................
Aye John ( Ships Scribe)
