Greetings Everyone,
Our Open/Bring and buy day yesterday was very well attended with the car park and part of Rotten Row full, people were asking for bacon butties before Paul (our Masterchef) had arrived to set up his kitchen. There were lots of bits and bobs and some very nice boats up for grabs with the trading going really well. Again Paul was non stop on the hotplate, ably assisted by Joe, Andy, Geoff and myself on water boiling and boiler top up duty, we ran out of bacon at 10.15am meaning Geoff having to shop for more supplies which along with Paul's wife's fabulous cakes very soon disappeared. The weather Gods were kind to us again with brilliant sunshine and a nice breeze all in all a very enjoyable day was had by everyone. Considering that the was a major cycling event taking place on Sunday which meant that the Coast road was closed from Pontins Roundabout up to the very end of Marine Lake our attendance was excellent, the positive feedback we are getting makes all the hard work worth. Well done to everybody who worked to make the day happen and sincere thanks to all who attended.
I will post details of our June Open/Bring and buy day two weeks before the event, the problems with our website are still ongoing and hopefully will be resolved soon. I will keep the forum updated with news on the new website. Thanks for looking.
Happy sailing,
Kind Regards,
Pete.Farrell.
