Slack week at the lake,17-20th Jan.

Been slack at the lake this week in more ways than one!.

Tuesday and Thursday sailors abandoned their boats and most of them retired to the Cafe.

It was quite cold, but that doesn't usually deter these stalwarts, it was the lack of any wind at all!, on both days!

I heard that three of the lads had a trip to Housemartin Sails on the Wirral, and had a good time and got some good bargains there.

Our friends at Colwyn Bay MBC look as though they are getting stuck into their refurbishment at their new venue, the lake in the park next to the old lake we have been sailing on previously!.

Might be worth a trip to see their efforts, when the weather improves of course!.

Wet week in January 2017.

Well 2017 has come in with a soggy wet week, but at least its starting to get lighter in the morning and evenings, so those of us with winter syndrome (that's most of us isn't it) can look forward to better times!.

Just to keep the little grey cells working here is a quiz for you and its just that, no prizes and no need to tell me your guesses, I took the pictures so already know the answers.

Should be easy for the older members who had been coming down to the lake for years and know everyone's boats and models. 

The 'For sale' section is empty so if you have any boats you want to sell to make room for more builds, all you need to do is send me an e-mail with a picture of the item and brief description and how much you would like for same. Don't forget what you want and what some one is prepared to give could be different!. Won't cost you anything though, so what have you got to lose.

Its that time again when your renewals are due, so if you've not spent up over Christmas give Andy the Sec your money at the end of the month!.

Where do you get virgin wool from?

Ugly sheep!.

They have started to give Viagra to old men in nursing homes as it stops them rolling out of bed!.

A mean husband gave his wife a complete mink outfit for her birthday,

A 12 bore shotgun and a set of traps!.

That's all for now folks.

After Christmas & New Year, 2017.

Happy New Year to all our members, readers and 
 Lakeside viewers.

   The norm now seems to be after every Open Day/Evening Sail /Frostbite Sail, being the last, I get complaints about fast electrics!.
It was decided at the committee meeting on 2nd Jan 2017, in future fast boats at events will be allotted a time slot say 15 or 20 min.
If on a normal sailing day, sort it amongst yourselves to split fast boat from sail and slower boats!.
Be aware the future of this clubs use of the lake is in your hands at all times!, ie Injury of the wild fowl can be the cause of this, many people come to the park to show their children the birds and to feed them, any of our boats seen to injure them is well noted and it wouldn't take too many complaints to have our lease revoked.

Looks nice on paper!, park been very busy over the holidays.

First sail 2017

Today at the lake as you can see by how the sailors are wrapped up it was quite cold and a bit of a breeze,  which whilst welcomed by the yachtsmen the wind chill factor seemed to make it a bit worse!

Not the North Atlantic, but quite cool at this end of the lake.

Steve's Louis Heloise.

The sailors had a slight breeze!.
