Opening Hours

The club is open on Friday and Saturday evenings from 7 pm during the winter months.

Sailing

The Welsh Yachting Association Optimist Sailing Squad is coming to Tenby this weekend to have some open sea training. Weather permitting, there should be 12 youngsters on the water, with two training coaches coming down from Cardiff.

The squad includes the best Optimist sailors in Wales, including two of our local youngsters, Deryn May and Holly Macdonald, who are members of the squad.

The Optimist really comes into its own in rough conditions and is one of the best training/racing boats for children up to 15 years old. Watch them from Castle Hill if you can stand the cold.

Darts

After a couple of heavy defeats, we travelled to the Castle Inn with some trepidation. The first game was won on the usual double one. We then lost the next three games due to our nemesis, lack of finishing.

Then came the turning point of the evening. The next game must have been the longest game ever recorded anywhere in the world - it eventually went our way, much to the delight of the team who had slipped into some form of darting torpa.

Apart from one game, the rest of the games went our way, with the father and son duo of Paul and Jonathan Morris getting the winning double. Terry Evans and Blake Shaw won all their matches and the match was eventually completed by breakfast (joking).

The Castle made us very welcome, enjoying the evening as much as we did. It's nice to record a rare victory, which is still being celebrated.

There is no league game scheduled for this evening, so it's much-needed practice, especially on the double front. Participating members, please note the practice session is obligatory!
