2016 Diary and new clothing prices

2016 Diary and new clothing prices.

Please find the 2016 diary of events and shows in the top tabs!

Also there are a number of items in the clothing section that have changed, these are not extortionate but I guess reflected by the prices we have to pay for said items from manufacturers!.

Have you checked the "For Sale" section recently or are you still suffering from the terrible weather we have been having lately, there are a few nice new entries in there!. 

We have been more fortunate that some of our friends in other clubs who have suffered from the terrible flooding of late, our thoughts go out to them and hope for a speedy return to normality.

I have been suffering from a heavy cold and bad chest recently but getting better now so will be back to the lake with the camera shortly, being this time of year though I don't think I've missed much!, though I'm sure the TT (Tuesday/Thursday) members have been at the lake well wrapped up and sailing as usual!.

Thank you all that have been asking about my absence and giving me a call at home much appreciated.

Here are some pictures of yesteryear to put you on until the better weather.

      

Geoff giving one of his excellent talks 

The arrival of the container.

A tricky bit of the new landing stage edging strip.

The strings for keeping off the geese has prove excellent and the landing stage has never been cleaner.

Bob the Builders Slo Mo 2.

The docking station.

Our stage at the Poynton Show, another good venue we will no doubt be revisiting in the future!.

A visitor to our lake recently, A Bean Goose, just passing through and checking out our beautiful venue no doubt!.

Well that's it for now, hopefully the weather will be picking up soon and we will get together at the lake in the near future!.

You know your getting old when.

The candles cost more than the cake.

The names in your little black book are mostly doctors

You sink your teeth into a steak and they stay there.

Work is a lot less fun and fun is a lot more work.

You can live without sex but not without glasses.

That's all folks!

Warwick coach trip 2014

Warwick coach trip 2014.

I was told yesterday at the lake that there are still a few seats left on the coach for the Warwick trip, though Mike has had to order the entrance tickets now, so anyone wishing to go will have to pay their own entrance fee on the door!.

  8th November.

 Model Boat show. Warwick , Coach trip!
Pick up 0800hrs at Morrison's, Denton
0815hrs Wickes, Stockport.
Price £20

The club Christmas dinner this year is at the same venue as last year, the Hare & Hounds at Werneth Low and if you went last year you will remember it was a good night with good food and good company!.

Price is same as last year £20 each, that can't be bad in this day and age can it!.

Date is the 2nd of December

If you are thinking of going again this year you will need to contact Mike again and get a printed menu to choose your Starter, main meal and dessert. These are used to order the total meals and then given back to you on the night incase you've forgot what you ordered, takes me all my time to remember what I had for dinner last night!.

Closing date will be 7 days before the dinner itself , Mike has to order and pay by then, so don't miss another great club night.

Only the AGM after these so get booked in and save Mike's hair he can't afford to loose much more!.

Mike was there at the lake yesterday as I've said, measuring up the container for the wood needed to shelve it all up, and then we will see the last of the dreaded cellar stairs and humping our kit up and down them, No doubt Mike will be asking for volunteers to help with this project and I'm sure there will be the usual help forthcoming!.

Container arrived, Oct 2014.

I was at the lake today and just in time to see the container arrive.

For those that didn't know the committee had decided to buy a shipping container which would be placed in the boat yard next to the yachtsmans already there.

The Commodore came dashing in has he had had a phone call that it was arriving this morning, he just had time for a quick cuppa in the Cafe before the truck arrived, it looked a lot smaller on the truck but when it was off loaded it looked a lot bigger. 

It will certainly be better than lugging stuff up and down those stairs and some exhibition stuff will be able to be left in the trailer it would appear.

 Just arrived.

Keeping his eye on the Chihuahua in the yard.

 Going up

 Alan making sure the paints not scratched.

 Nearly there!.

Slipping the driver a couple of quid.

If you take a drink, Don't take mine!.

Checking it out by the sailors of the day

 Bit of a step there, but used the flagstones supplied by Alan

And there you have it, ready to be filled!.

Only has to be painted Conker Brown to match the other one now.

A couple of nice boats sailing on the day, now the excitement was over.

A nice barge belonging to Andy, and be warned if there is going to be some barge racing in the future this is the one to watch out for!.

 One of Trevors One Metre boats.

That's it for today Folks!.
