It's almost September

It's been a very busy summer, we've had fantastic participation for races, sailing tuition and social sailing. The clubhouse has opened every day since 6th July and all social events have been very well attended. Last week's junior racers enjoyed lovely conditions out on the water and had good attendance for their AGM and prize giving on Saturday (apologies for the incorrect date in last week's newsletter). All results are on the website.

Unfortunately, due to a sudden and unexpected thunderstorm, the final Women on the Water session didn't get away from the hard yesterday. But everyone stayed safe, got wet and ate cake so it felt very authentic! The Frocks and Flip-flops Summer drinks party was a huge success, with dancing well into the night.

Despite very light winds this afternoon, autumn points series started for handicap fleet and August points concluded for the Hawk fleet, what difference a day makes! Next weekend is the Idler Bowl series, Cockle Champagne breakfast and the start of the Autumn points for Hawks. If you have any silverware from 2022, please return it to the clubhouse so that it can be engraved ready for prize giving.

We are really keen to hear from anyone who can assist with any form of safety craft or boats capable of transporting 1 or 2 parents at a time to observe the action over the 23rd and 24th September Topper weekend. Key criteria will be ability to operate on a 7.0m tide. There will be 20-25 good standard juniors travelling from The Broads, Grafham Water, Snettisham Beach and the Suffolk coast, so there should be a great atmosphere in the club all weekend. If you are able to assist, please contact Ed Medcalf directly by email.

We are open EVERYDAY until Sunday then we will begin Autumn opening times (Friday evening, Saturday lunch and dinner and Sunday lunch, with breakfasts added for the early tides):
Tuesday 16:00 until 22:00 dinner service from 18:00 until 21:00. (HW 18:19)
Wednesday 16:00 until 22:00 dinner service from 18:00 until 21:00. (HW 19:10)
Thursday 16:00 until 22:00 lunch service from 12:00 until 15:00 & dinner service from 18:00 until 21:00. (HW 19:55)

Below is our August menu, (we will update the menu next week) there will also be specials on the blackboard plus sweet and savoury bar snacks available from 4pm each day, please do ask staff what is available. If you have any questions regarding special dietary requirements please ask us when ordering your food.
