Boat Judging

Boat Judging - Wednesday 09 October 2019

Don't forget that the date for judging of boats for all of the Club building competitions was brought forward this year to Wednesday 09 October - next club night. It is in the Club Diary

The change of dates is to allow more time for trophies to be engraved before the AGM - it has been a bit of a rush in the past.

This means that the talk by the Commodore, John Berry, on sailing boats, previously advertised for this meeting, has now been postponed until the following meeting, Wednesday 23 October, and the talk by Geoff Garside, on Becker rudders, will now be given at a later date.

Sorry for the mix up. I had forgotten that we had moved the boat judging night - mea culpa.

Not a Boat in Sight !!

Tour of Britain - Saturday 14 September

Not a boat in sight as riders on the final stage of the Tour of Britain cycle race last Saturday start the long slog up Werneth Low, having just passed the Boat Club on the way down from Marple. I was watching the live coverage on the TV, but the helicopter failed to give us any shots of the lake - pity !

George Barrett

Welcome Home - George Barrett

Some of you will already know that George Barrett has been in hospital for the last week with a suspected heart attack.

I have just heard from Pauline, Mrs. Barrett, that he is now home. The diagnosis was not strictly a heart attack, but a stent which had shifted and blocked part of the blood supply to the heart. That has now been fixed.

The prognosis is good, but he has got to take it easy for a bit and, as you might expect, he will not be too keen about that.

In order to alleviate the boredom, he will now welcome visitors [ I imagine with open arms ], but if you are going to travel, please ring first.
