End of Season Party

The main sailing season ending with a 1970's themed evening at the club.  Guests were welcomed with a glass of Mateus Rose or Black Tower before sitting down to an appropriate meal that included prawn cocktail, Coq au vin and Black Forest gateaux.  The opportunity was taken to model the clubs new line in branded clothing, before the evening's activities of space hopper racing and dancing to a 70's disco that had everybody on their feet.

pete_and_alison

We extend a big welcome to Peter and Ali as our new club chefs.  Although we welcome them to their new role in the galley, they are already well known to club members as skipper and crew of ‘Smokey 3’.   

The galley is continuing to open on Friday and Saturday evenings with an a la carte menu.  There will be a good selection of snacks at weekend lunchtimes with the addition of a roast lunch on Sundays.

Club members and guests are encouraged to support the new galley team.

Squib Inlands 2009 Rutland Water
first_beat_with_windsurfersThe club was represented at the Squib Inland championships held at Rutland Sailing Club, by 'greenhorn' Squibber Eddie Harper and Steve Dadd in Quicksilver. Arriving just before 1400 on the Friday, weighing and launching was an arduous affair and it was nearly three hours later before Quicksilver’s bottom was immersed in the fresh waters of Rutland Water, a man made water storage facility to supply East Anglia. Being at the end of the 'summer' the water levels had dropped about eight feet and weed was in abundance, great piles of it were being raked up to allow the ribs and ferry boat access to the pontoons, whilst huge swathes floated on the surface creating an instant brake to the unwary.
