91 members and friends joined in the Start of Season Party on Saturday 27 April.  After an afternoon of sailing in beautiful sunshine there were some surprisingly tanned faces and a hopeful anticipation of more good sailing days to come.

Supper was provided by chef Christian Lohez followed by music by Ed Hintze.  Ed has recently been on the television show 'The One and Only' performing as a tribute to Elton John.

Melita Biggs, Commodore, welcomed guests to the celebration of the start of the main sailing programme, although this year boats have been racing all season for the first time.

Josie Dadd, Social Secretary said that she was very pleased with the turnout of guests for the event and was glad that everyone had enjoyed themselves.  Thank you Josie and Sue for all the work involved organising the party.
