Last Sunday in February, 2016.

Very cold at the lake but it didn't put off our hardy TTS Team, that's the Tuesday/Thursday and Sunday guys!.

Most of the team were sailing their one Metre yachts on the day with the odd "J" class in there, though the way they sail there wasn't must to chose between them speed wise!.

The yachtsmen.

 Their craft

The motorised sailors were still setting up whilst I was there.

Plenty of spectators on this nice sunny but cold day and the car park was it's usual chaotic state with the weekender's parking everywhere but inside the white lines, makes it hard to park but later on harder still to get out!.

Still an enjoyable days sailing by the sailors present, with a nice walk round the park for everyone else, the Cafe doing a brisk trade with hot food and drink, I think the staff there do a great job and you never have to wait long after placing an order, the bacon/sausages Barms certainlty hit the spot on a day like today!.

If all the worlds a stage, where do the audience sit?.

The number of people watching you is directly proportional to the stupidity of your action!.

How do Eskimos stop their mouths from freezing up?, They grit their teeth.

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!
