Six Nations Rugby

We all enjoyed the win against Italy last Saturday with the thought that Italy played well and are constantly improving.

Our delight was particularly aided by the Speckled Hen and Tanglefoot which embellished the match most excellently!

Do come along for the next one - the club will be open and welcoming for this Saturday's game between Ireland and Wales, with kick-off at 2.30 pm.

Our green cousins will have their tails up after their win against Scotland, so it will be a hard fought game!

The next game after that will be Wales against France on Friday (not Saturday), February 21, kick-off at 8 pm.

Laser Sailors

An invitation to spend the weekend with Ellie Meopham.

Ellie, who is RYA Youth National Champion and ISAF World Championship sailor, will be coaching this weekend at Fishguard Bay Yacht Club. 

Laser sailors of all ages are welcome to take part. It will cost £40 for the whole weekend. A great opportunity!

There are only a limited number of places, so If you would like to take part, please contact Hester Walker at [email protected]">[email protected]s soon as you can. 

Big Ben on Desert Island Discs - Little Ben in Ireland

Whilst Ben Ainslie is entertaining us on Desert Island Discs and hoping to set up a UK America's Cup challenge, our Ben (Roberts) is maintaining his sailing progress by gaining selection along with five other Welsh Topper sailors to represent Wales in the Nations Cup, in Northern Ireland.

He flew out to Belfast last Friday with the squad and coaches. Parents were 'let off the hook' this time! Well done Ben.

Maritime Matters

Dave Miller and Andrew Hodgson from the MCA at Milford Haven are to bring us up to date on the new organisation and working of the Coastguards, at 7.30 pm on Friday, March 21, in the club.

They will cover all aspects of coastal and maritime matters, including the vital service of search and rescue on which we all depend.

It is sure to be an interesting and informative evening, so get it in your diaries now.
