Wales Revives

 

Our much supported team refocused and revived their motivation with a good win against a rather lacklustre French team last Friday night.

Enthusiasm and enjoyment from members and friends in the club was probably as intense as anywhere, with even a queue to get in before the match - is this a first?!

The evening's success was sealed with some excellent real ale kindly donated by The Pembrokeshire Brewery and half-time chip butties to help calm any nerves. 

The next match will certainly be a challenge and is always regarded as the 'big one' against England at Twickenham.

Debenture grandstand seats are freely available to all members and friends in the clubhouse for the 3 pm start on Sunday, March 9.

RYA

The recent RYA AGM report included a couple of aspects of interest.

Firstly there were 77 applications from members to stand for just four posts on the committee, which makes me wonder where we go wrong!

And with their meeting starting at 11 and closing at 11.15, I am amazed at their brevity!

Maybe the two aspects are connected and that if our committee did not have to work such long hours we would have members queuing up to commit - or perhaps it requires the presence of the direct speaking Princess Anne? Suggestions on a postcard please!!

Boat Park Spring Clean Time

Graham is planning spring cleaning sessions on Saturday, March 15, and the following day, to undertake the annual spruce-up of the boat park.

Please will all sailing members support and participate. Attendance on the Saturday will permit members to move up to the rugby at 2.45 pm to watch Wales overcome Scotland (we hope!)

Cruiser Crew

Opportunity

Our commiserations go out to our dutiful president, Rolfe John, who has unfortunately fractured a shoulder which leaves him single-handed (literally) for some weeks. Normally over this period he would be preparing his cruiser TwmBarlwm for the season.

Are there any offers to provide some help with the fitting out process, please - any such help would be rewarded with the opportunity to crew with Rolfe on subsequent trips and voyages.

Contact Rolfe on 01834 813792 or email to [email protected]">[email protected]
