Darts

Sadly, our opponents for the last darts match of the season had to cry off, but not, I imagine, because of an overwhelming fear of the likely result from the encounter! The final outcome of the six-month league is being computed and will be reported later.

Coppet Week

We're gearing up to welcome members and visitors to our annual sailing shindig and as usual have a full programme of sailing and social events planned. Those of you who have already registered to race have your race programme already, but here are a few extra dates for your diary.

If you fancy all the fun of a day at the races, join us on Monday, May 27. Our recent race night was a roaring success so we can promise you a great evening out.

On Tuesday 28th, we have our delicious roast pork supper and to entertain you we're delighted to welcome the ever popular MoJo and Mo. We'll be taking bookings for food in a week or two so keep an eye on your inbox and this column for details.

No eggheads or Masterminds needed on Thursday 30th for a family quiz night. Free to enter and suitable for all the family, there'll be questions to suit sailors, sporty types, TV and film buffs, and a special round for those younger quizzers who prefer Mickey Mouse and his friends.

On Friday 31st, it is time to empty the barrels and pick up your awards (or wooden spoons) at the prize-giving, and we'll provide you with a buffet supper to soak up the alcohol!

As usual, soup or sandwiches, and homemade cakes are on the menu in the clubhouse every lunchtime Monday - Friday from 12-2.

The indefatigable RNLI ladies will once more be organising their Brew for the Crew with afternoon tea in the clubhouse on Sunday, May 26, from 3 pm. Please do come along and support them.

Volunteers are always welcome so if you'd like to help out in the galley or the bar, please let Anne-Marie or Rob know.

40th Anniversary

This year is a very special one as it marks the 40th anniversary of Coppet Week. That's quite an achievement and thanks go to all who have made the previous 39 so successful.

To mark this milestone, we have special t-shirts on order which will be available to buy during Coppet Week. We always like to provide prizes for our race winners and to make this year extra special we'd like to invite local sponsors to back us by providing prizes for races or by donating a prize for this year's raffle.

We really would like to make Coppet Week 2013 our best yet.

And of course we need good weather, too, so if you have any influence in this field please arrange us fair weather this year!

Can you help? We'll be delighted and very grateful if you can.
