More Normal Service Resumed !!
Geoff Fitzsimons has announced that the Steering Competition will resume its normal monthly schedule on Sunday, 02 May, starting at 11.00 a.m.
New entrants will be most welcome.
Hopefully, the weather will be better than when the photograph [of an earlier, pre-Covid, session ] was taken !
Normal Service is Resumed !

Boiler Testing
Now that life is slowly returning to normal, and we can all start sailing again with fewer restrictions, do not forget that if you want to put a steamer on the lake, it must have a boiler certificate for a safety test within the last 12 months. For most of us, this will mean performing a new steam test, as little or no testing has been possible in the last year.
Our boiler tester, John Senior, has started retesting so contact him if you wish to arrange a test. He can be contacted by Email [seniorjandd@gmail.com] or by phone [0161 427 2968].
The photo below, courtesy of Bob Abell, shows John performing a Covid safe outdoor test for David Lee on the landing stage earlier this week.
On the Lake - Tuesday 30 March
Following the latest relaxation of Government Covid restrictions on Monday, the sailing boys have wasted no time in getting back to normal operation - whilst still observing all the rules.
Here they are setting up for a long awaited day's racing, in glorious sunshine.
