We have secured exclusive use of the Virgin Money Lounge opposite the Norwich Body Shop on Castle Street. The EGM should only take a few minutes to complete and so it’s a good opportunity to have a bit of a social gathering. Virgin Money have created the Lounge for their customers but also want to encourage local organisations to use it as a special meeting place. Arrive 7:30 pm for 8:00 start. This year’s AGM will be at the Feathers pub , Wymondham. 7:30 pm for 8:00pm start. All members are welcome, so please feel free to come along and have a drink with us. The pub has parking, and the meeting room is upstairs. 13 Town Green , NR18 0PN !!Latest news !! Tom is King of the waves ..read here
Great to have Quayside Windsurfers support the event, Neil, Stephen, Ray, plus lady photographer (sorry didn’t catch the name) Very big QSW van, small speakers, tall flags and some very sexy windsurfing kit to show. Members attending: Mike, JT, Graham, Lisa, Simon, Kathy, Dave T, Neil G, Geoffrey, Tone, a rabbit, Wendy, Darren, Keith, Jonny C, Chris, Dave H, Dave B, Steve, Martin, Gareth, Richard, JC, Ros, Marie, plus a load of others but not sure of names. Please add other names to a comment and I’ll add you in. Nicely powered up for two races before lunch with Martin and Gareth both having a P1, and P2 . With dropping wind Martin swapped from the 8m to his trusty 9m, Gareth changed tactic by trying out the QSW £2k plus board and fully cammed Serverne sail. Martin bagged the next P1 with Gareth hot on his heels. Dave H took first place in race 4 followed by Martin and Gareth. Overall result was Martin, Gareth and Dave H. Wendy took the ladies 1st place, with Marie 2nd, Lisa 3rd. A scattering of prizes for new members, best rabbit, etc. Food was up to the usual high standard, thanks Wendy. (We learned that Long Stratton sausages are actually made in Hickling so that’s a nice link). QSW should have some video soon. So great weather, food, lovely people, good competition, my P1, and all based from our private beach that has to be one of the most beautiful locations on the broads. Thanks again to everyone for making it so successful. Fun day? … absolutely!
