June 15th and 16th

After a very successful Open Day on Saturday with a fierce south westerly blowing at over 20 mph at times - Massive credit to our three experieced helms, John Bell, John Hollands and Philip Dalby, who took out innumerable novice visitors and children. Sunday had moderated considerably. Only Elize Topper, Claude Pico and James Comet in the morning.

In the afternoon, a good show by the GP's with Derek and Mary, George and Chris, John with Sue, Rob with Harry (good to see them out) and newcomers from yesterday, Ivan and Ringo having a go in a training boat.

In the Merlins were John Heath with our secretary Nicola and Rob with Jo.

Nigel Solo, James Comet and Claude Pico, in the Handicap.

In the Ents were Sarah and Hannah (dry sailing), Ian with Jane and me with Paul. Nice steady breeze with a good run down river to the gybe mark, which due to stream and traffic, the place for overtaking.

Race team was Andrew Mills and John Bell with youth in the Box Lucy Penwarden and Ellie.

Catering by the Dutchess, who gets my two pieces award!

Reggatta next week, be there or be square!
