Tenby Sailing Club Race & Social Event Report

          The final positions down to sixth place for the Frostbite series were as follows:

          Fourteen boats took part throughout the series including boats such as a RS Vareo and the speedy 49er. Again, congratulations Dan Jackson for holding off such strong opposition. His cruiser sailing methods are also legendary. The boats will now undergo the annual winter maintenance in preparation for the new season which commences at the end of March.

          This proved to be a superb culinary experience enjoyed by over 70 members and friends. The club is extremely grateful to Nick Bolwell and his team for putting on such a challenging event. We are indeed fortunate to have the services of such a talented purveyor of food and I'm delighted to announce that Nick will be preparing food for the ravenous during the winter recess.

          As mentioned above, Nick will be on duty this evening ready to quell the hunger of the ravenous Friday noshers.

          A meeting to discuss the new sailing season and related issues takes place this evening and will commence at 6.30 p.m.

          The darts season continues this evening with a match away to The Evergreen. Captain Terry Evans assumes that all participants will have put in the requisite practice over the festive season.

          The next Jam session is fixed for Wednesday January 13th. Don't miss it; it's the place to be!

          Members please note that there is a committee meeting on Monday, January 11th.

          A new newsletter has been circulated which includes details of sailing and social events. There are copies available at the clubhouse.
