well another great day. this lake is amazing to sail on. well done to the 3 trophy winners. loved the rowing skeleton! great to see the clyde lifeboat, something very different. Iron Duke and Poleythemous were on the water. Loads of sailing boats, and an Atlantis! well done and thanks for organising it.

Always nice to welcome our good friends from Luton. A lovely day indeed. A total of £540 was raised for the RNLI.
The hire fleet was in continuous use in the boomed-off corner. The tombola sold out. Plus the RNLI collection box and knitted toy sales. Trophies given for best boat, best BPMBC boat, and best novelty boat.
The lake was a busy seaway all day. Gazebo's and ship laden tables stretched right along the lake.
Thank you to all our friends from far afield for making the day special.

Hi all, I had a very pleasant day, sailed my Schooner in a patchy but good wind. I was kindly invited to join in with the Luton club, thanks Klunk most appreciated.
Nice meeting up again with boaters, I enjoyed my lunch unlike the bony gentleman rowing round.
Thanks to the organisers,
Roy
