Senior Fleet News

It is cold, dark, raining and blowing a gale as I pen this, nothing could be further from the thought of a lovely warm summer’s day on the river, with a gentle breeze blowing and our sails billowing out above us – dream on until May!!

But back to reality – I am sure no-one in their right minds thinks or does anything about their boats in January, but time will gallop on and soon we will be dusting them down and getting them ready.  Let’s hope for a brilliant summer to make up for the not-so-brilliant one in 2007.  As you will see from the calendar lots of exciting things are planned, and we just need you, the senior fleet sailors (whatever that may mean!), to participate in them.

Saturday 19th April is booked for the Wayfarer supper, to which all senior dinghy sailors are invited. It will be in the small room at the Town Hall at 7.30 pm.  Please apply to Vicki Bingham if you would like to come.  Usual format, bring a dish for supper (choose what you like to cook best and I will co-ordinate the choices).  It is always a very informal evening, but good fun – and a small contribution will be asked  for from each person present to pay for the hire of the Hall and the first glass of wine – wine will also be for sale too, or BYO.

Until then, happy hibernating!

Vicki Bingham, Senior Fleet Captain
