We had a good turn out, so many thanks to those that helped out: The green slime was removed from Northern side of the changing rooms, toilets and showers cleaned, bushes trimmed, gutters fixed and cleaned, paths swept, rigging area raked, and obstructing beach bushes removed.

To avoid a potential £20,000 fine then please remember not to sail in the areas marked with “Bird Refuge – please avoid” areas as marked on this diagram. For more information click here.

Picture: 30th year celebration event at Hickling earlier this year.

The East Anglian Tennis and Squash Club hosted the 2014 AGM.

We have a had another very successful year at the Club: Come and Try day, 2 training days, 30th year celebration, new carpark surface, and new changing room flooring. The Club facebook is building momentum too. Although we had a very expensive year it was decided to freeze fees for 2015. The committee says good bye to Pat, Tony, Dave, and Philip – who collectively have over 80 years committee experience! Yes, that is amazing. Martin takes on the role of Chairman, and Jeff as News Editor. Phil and Glen have joined the committee too.

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.
