Darting with Tenby
We went like lambs to the slaughter - meek, guiless and willing!
Tenby SC kindly invited SSC to a darts match last Friday evening as they had a free night from their usual fixtures. Their previous record in the league has not been totally dominant, but we went in good faith with no thought that they wished to bolster their confidence!
The result was 7-2 to Tenby, but nobody was counting seriously as we all had a really good evening and were right royally entertained with generous hospitality and great company. Thank you Tenby - but to paraphrase Arnold - "we will be back" and look forward to a return in Saundersfoot.

Saundersfoot in all its glory
Martin Chambers, of Thomas Chapel, has taken the picture accompanying the news this week. It is a truly amazing photograph of the harbour.
Lost
Property
There are a number of items of clothing and kit which have been left in the club over the season. Please contact Trevor (811235) to arrange to pick up any items you have lost. It remains a mystery to me how things like trousers can be left behind - what did the owner go home in I wonder!
Nautical Nips
Last week's topic was a bit deep (apologies for the pun) - but here is a simple poser which is related to that subject. Sea depths are measured from chart datum, but what are land heights in the UK related to?
