Lovely and Warm, with some very strong gusts, especially at the Southern buoy, resulted in some very challenging racing. Martin was given an unprecedented 3 minute handicap, for sailing his picnic table! Olympians galore…loads of gold, silver and bronze medals given away at the annual Fun Day.

Results. Tennis Relay: 1st (Philip and Neil), 2nd (Martin and JT), 3rd (Carl and Dave).

Slalom Ladies Gold (Wendy), Children Slalom Gold (Byony), Silver (William), Mens Gold (tied -Philip, Martin), Silver (tied Dave, Carl), Bronze (tied-Neil D, Neil W, Chris).

It isn’t often we have a world class windsurfing Pro at the Broad. Here are class 2016, looking confident and preparing for the 100th gybe/helli tack/fast tack of the day. We will definitely be inviting Simon Bornhoft back next year!

The re-schedule for 15 Oct was cancelled due to a poor weather forecast. Ironically, the weather turned out to be perfect! Apologies for any inconvenience.

The free SUP taster planned on the 7th August has had to be cancelled due to high winds. Steve from the Norfolk Paddle Board Co has re-scheduled for 15 October 10am to 1pm. Access will be from the Pleasure Boat.

No need to book, just turn up. First come first served.

* Over 80 members and guests made the BBQ, for a good catch up, and windsurfing/Hickling quiz in the lovely beer garden. Must have been the warmest evening of the year.
