The Open Weekend 2003 |
For the 17 & 18 May there was a terrible weather forecast and the FA Cup final was on Saturday afternoon; there were few visitors on Saturday. Conditions were as bad as forecast with an extremely strong, fluky & gusty S wind and raining in the afternoon. There was a very good turn out of members (21) who had great BBQ food for lunch and a TV to watch the football. |

On Sunday the wind was nearly as bad but at least it remained dry and we had many more visitor ranging from an 11 year old girl, and 2 lads who loved the exciting sail to a Chinese student who had never even seen a sailing dinghy before but still had a short sail. |
|
The reefed Bosun was ideal for the conditions and Graham Thompson and others were kept very busy taking visitors out for a sail. We expect to get several new members. |
