  • Unfortunately they can’t be here tonight…

    So, remember these fabulous trophies… Well, some of them were won by people who couldn’t make the End of Season ball. We hope you can make it to Commodore’s Choice or the Xmas party because we would really like to present you with your award: KEITH ROBBINS – wins the Commodore’s Plaque for his contribution…

  • End of Season Ball

    Well I don’t know about the rest of you but I had a fabulous time at the end of Season Ball. And having booked the venue blind, I was even more delighted that it looked so good. Thanks Jeremy for sorting it all out. It was of course an occasion to say Well Done and…

  • More Mallorca photos

    Thanks to Anthony for lots more Mallorca photos for my collection 🙂

  • Red Diesel… again

    The Court of Justice at the European Union EU has more or less declared that the UK can’t sell red diesel any more. Who knows if this will be important enough to be raised in the Brexit negotiations? Glad we’re not organising a cruise to Belgium next year…. See CA comments below: “UPDATE: 18/10/2018 –…

  • Weekend away in Mallorca

    It was wonderful to see so many members on the weekend away in Mallorca. At its peak there were to be 34 of us. That number presented its own problems in terms of finding reasonably priced restaurants that people could walk to. So in the end we catered in house. I choose my house guests…

    Our last event in September was a horse racing night. I had never been to one before, but they are great fun. Real races are shown on the screen and you can bet on them before , just like ‘ a night at the races’. Needless to say Andrew and I didn’t win a thing,…

  • Sail Past

    This post is a plea for photographs. Andrew and I had the most fantastic time at sail past, but no photographs! So anyone out there who has any please email them to me, what’s a blog without pictures? And the photos should be fabulous, it’s not as if it was raining or anything 🙂

  • More Dunkirk Little Ship Pictures

    Many thanks to Mandy for these fab pictures of our Veterans day with the Association of Dunkirk Little Ships.

  • Pan-Pan Pan-Pan Pan-pan

    All Stations, All Stations, All Stations… I have to say that I never thought I would hear a Pan-Pan call for real, on a boat I was sitting (well, sliding) on. For those non-boaty people reading this, it’s the emergency call one below a Mayday. But we can always rely on our old University mate,…
