Frostbite Results
The calculation of the results from the six races run in this 10-race series has given the results panel more head scratching than much of the main season series owing to the closeness of the results.
A total of eight boats competed and the leading two places had to be decided by 'countback'. The final positions were as follows: 1. Nick Berridge; 2. Paul Johnson and Alan Lambert; 3. Mark and Trish Jones.
Darts
There was a good turnout for the knockout tournament entertainment last Friday against Tenby Bowls Club. It looked as if they were going to bowl us over completely, despite our sterling efforts, when in the last pairs match, Will 'The Power' Myers hit that elusive double to win the match and redeem our honour.
We are at home again tonight (Friday) to the Cross Inn, Penally team, and then the next league match is after Christmas on January 7, so intensive practice over the festive season please!
Membership
The new membership arrangements agreed at the annual general meeting provide a really good deal for all, with a full year's adult sailing membership at only £40, which is no more than the cost of a single night's b&b! Application forms will be dispatched shortly and payment is due on January 1 to help the club's cash flow please.
Social

News
It is great to be able to report that our club has a Welsh national champion in the Laser Standard Class following Ben Dancer's win at Cardiff in the Welsh Championships.
This was in a new boat, but note the old sail number, 165545, which is Trevor's old standard sail!
Ongoing squad practice required a trip to Plas Menai near Anglesey last weekend, which involved a snowbound Cresta Run to get there - never mind the cold conditions for sailing.
Well done Ben and all the Dancer family for the huge support needed at this level.
