To start our 75th Anniversary Celebrations this year the restaurant will provide a set meal with a wide range of dishes including meat, fish, vegetarian and vegan options, including a few things which are not normally on the menu.
The cost would be £35 a head for poppadom’s, starters and main course with rice, various breads, and side dishes. That includes service charge but not drinks or desserts (not that anyone would have room for desserts).

By popular demand the Thursday Finale was held allowing one more evening sailing session. It was overcast but warm with a NE F2-3 breeze making for a pleasant evenings sailing.
All seven boats were singlehanders with the Lasers being the biggest fleet.
After the first lap in race one the first four rounded the leeward gate only a few seconds apart with Joe leading the pack. After the second and final lap Joe and Richard led across the line making it a Solution one, two finish for the Solutions however the Lasers were only a few seconds behind with Mark beating Richard by 2 seconds on corrected time.
Race two saw the Solutions in the lead after the first lap with Richard just ahead of Joe. Rob, sailing the club Phantom was also in the mix having realised he hadn’t put any rig tension on in the first race. In the final lap Joe sneaked past Richard to take line honours and another win, with Richard in second beating Mark by 8 seconds. As they say, every second counts.

Back onshore the evening was drawing in and Richard had come prepared with his late night boat packing tool, his son’s headlight which proved extremely useful.
With the temperature still in the high teens we decided to finish the night testing Phil’s new lighting system by having supper and beer on the prom. Many thanks to Phil and Des for arranging the nights racing, a great way to finish the seasons Thursday evening sessions. Good luck to our Solution Team of David, Joe & Richard as we welcome the Solution fleet to our club for their National Championship this coming weekend.
