Thanks to Big G, Philip, Robbie, and Tone for joining me [Richard] in providing the coaching today. And thanks to all the members who turned up to participate and made it a worthwhile event. The wind was challenging at times (I was busy in the boat retrieving stray sailors from downwind, and a squall de-masted a couple of dinghies), but most people seemed to get a lot out of the session, so well done.
Founder members Pat and Tony somewhat taken aback by their framed photos in recognition of 30 years on the committee.
Over 70 had pleasure at the Pleasure Boat Inn enjoying the stories, food, drink and laughter. The garden setting was perfect, just across the dyke from where is all started 30 years ago. Tony and Pat were presented with a scene from the beach from a windy sunny day in February 2014. Alan won the raffle – a calm view of the beach. Go to our facebook page for more pictures.

24 August update: The pub will be pretty full, with over 70 members and partners coming, and it’s going to be quite a do. Regrettably we do not have the capacity to accommodate any more.
The Pleasure Boat have kindly upgraded the meal from a BBQ to a Hog Roast too!
We look forward to seeing you.
Windier, sunnier, and warmer than forecast. It was a pleasure to spend the day with other instructors and our lovely guests to advance their windsurfing skills.
Very satisfying to see the pupils pushing their selves and moving their ability up a level or two.
Many thanks to Darren, Gareth, Martin, Phil and Richard for giving up their time for free, and supporting the Club’s training programme.
