As readers may well have other activities on their minds this week, the SSC news items will be held over until next issue - the first of the New Year.

In the meantime, don't forget the Saundersfoot New Year's Day Swim (which is to be held on January 1 would you believe!) and the firework display that evening which can be watched from the excellent viewpoint of our front picture windows in the comfort of the club with bar and food on hand.

The photograph this week is just to remind everyone that the sky can be blue and the sun does shine over Saundersfoot sometimes. We look forward to such ideal weather for our enjoyment in 2009.

A very merry Christmas and a happy New Year to all members.
