Frostbite

Surprise, surprise, no sailing last Sunday in the gale force winds!

The last two Frostbite races are in a week's time on Sunday, November 6, with a 2 pm start.

Darts

Heroes Wendy Bower and David James won their doubles and Will Myers his singles match to retrieve reasonable honour from a meeting with some very good darts players last week.

Martin Andrews also achieved what we believe is our highest ever score of 147, retrieving his arrows too quickly for a national photo call!

A further relief was that we avoided impaling any of the serving staff whose route from kitchen to restaurant crossed the line of throw.

This Friday we are at home against The Evergreen, Tenby, who are near the top of the league... perhaps we should feed them before the match as a ruse to deflect their aim!

Christmas Dinner

A festive feast is now booked for the evening of Friday, December 9.

Full details will be provided next week.

AGM

This is an occasion that we welcome all members to try and attend.

To be held at 2 pm on Sunday, November 27, it will allow members to get together beforehand over a drink and some light refreshments.

It is an event involving the three R's - but no, we are not going back to school.

The aims of the meeting are to - Review the current season, Refresh committee appointments, and for everyone to Re-engage commitment and support for their club for the new season.

Any special items for the agenda need to be sent to the secretary, Martin Andrews, by November 3.

Nautical Nip

Under old whaling law, 'kenning by kenning' was a term used for a mode of increasing wages by seeing how a man performed his duty.

It would appear that there are examples in certain professions nowadays - dare I name bankers, footballers - who have modified this term to something nearer 'conning', whereby wages are escalated to absurd levels regardless of performance. Maybe we should revert to old whaling practice!
