Race Duty Awareness Evening

Details

Last Updated: 10 March 2019

•       How often as a fairly longstanding member of the club have I heard…

•       I am new to the club and don’t know what I am doing

•       I can’t drive a rescue boat I have no experience

•       I had an email / call from someone telling me I was on duty today but I don’t know who it is or what I am doing

•       Well we are going to try and exorcise this evil and try to remove the mystery of Race Duty

On Thursday 21st March at 8:00pm there is going to be  RACE DUTY AWERENESS EVENING in the clubhouse.

Free Pizza to those that attend, but please let us know either  by emailing This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it. or by following this link

Successful Charity Weekend

Details

Last Updated: 20 November 2018

The weekend of the 10th and 11th November saw the club in full Charity Mood. 

The Saturday night started with a Quiz evening held in the clubhouse which included a variety of questions written and organised by Siobhan and Gavin.  The evening also included dinner in the entry price. 

The following day saw the Club's annual charity race.  This year a different format to previous years.  The handicap race was set for 100 minutes to commemorate the 100 years since the end of the FWW. The race format included a little twist that allowed competitors to swap crew if they so wished.  At the same time even if there was no crew change they still had to stop at the pontoon.

All proceeds from both events to MSC nominated charities.
