The pontoons are in place, the moorings are laid, our new fleet of RS Visions have arrived and the Club is all ready to the new season. I just hope that none of you are as far behind with your fitting out jobs as I am.
It all begins in April with the Juniors having already held their new intake taster day, the first cruiser event upriver to Bow Creek on the 10th, the first Wednesday evening race on the 14th, and Ladies Afloat welcome day on the 15th.
We have a great programme organised for the season with cruises along the West Country coast and a sortie across the channel, the Junior Sailing programme is extended to sixteen weeks to include some evening racing during the school holidays, there is a full Wednesday evening race programme and weekend mini regattas and coastal races. It is really good to see some Family Fun Days planned that include all of our sailing interest groups.
The Met. Office are no longer prepared to make long range predictions, but following three scruffy sailing summers we really are due a terrific season, I hope we all have one.
