CLUB CLEAN DAY THIS SATURDAY 19 MAY
Please come and volunteer a couple of hours of your time to spruce up the clubhouse and dinghy park. You could at least tidy up your own boat park space - weeding etc.
Gill will be there for breakfast and possibly lunch.
See you on Saturday.

Novice Race Day - 5th May This year has got off to a cracking start for the novices. First, on 21st April, a dedicated core of 13 novices attended a day’s free race training led by Richard Beardsley and supported by Kirsten Claiden-Yardley. Despite some quite serious gusts, the group showed great enthusiasm and dedication, practicing starts, mark rounding and beats. It was an inspiring day, and all there promised to attend most of the Saturday Novice series, thereby ensuring that we have a good competitive summer.
Saturday 5th saw the first novice race day of the series. Again, 13 competed in all. The north easterly breeze proved very shifty throughout the day which challenged both the race officer, Kirsten and the sailors.

Locking-up times Will all members please note that Thames Water have changed the time they lock the gates.
From now until 26th May, the gates will be locked at 7.30pm and not unlocked until 8.00am.
As leaseholders, club members are entitled to come and go as they please, but we are responsible for locking and unlocking the gates outside these core hours.
Please make sure you are aware of the opening and closing times, and that you are able to leave by 7.30pm. If you are attending an event, club racing etc. please make sure there is a committee member available who has a key to the gate. Please also remember to lock the gate after you -- there are two padlocks which must be intertwined so either can unlock the chain.
Many thanks
Chris Burrows - Commodore.

The Old Swan & Minster Mill 
Set in 65 acres of idyllic Cotswold countryside, the Old Swan & Minster Mill, a de Savary property, is situated in the picturesque village of Minster Lovell, set on over a mile of the River Windrush. The hotel is uniquely located on two sites next door to each other, the 17th century mill is a sympathetic restoration of original Cotswold buildings, whilst the adjoining 16th century Old Swan was the original coaching inn.
Recently benefitting from a complete restoration programme, the Old Swan offers luxurious furnishings, complemented by superb dining.
Guests can enjoy a number of activities including fly-fishing on the Windrush, tennis, boules, badminton and cycling and horse-riding and golf can also be arranged. There are also a number of activities for children including a children’s petting farm.
