Good turn out at Etherow

It was another good turn out again at the club last night for the Quiz and Hot Pot supper.
.A few photo's for those of you who couldn't make it.

  The "Pensioners"

Bar area, not many there,others keeping their brains sharp.

Top corner, few thin patches there guys! but grass doesn't grow on busy roads does it!.

Bottom corner, the Hirst family and friend.

Committee members organising 24/7

And last but not least 

The quiz-master who did a splendid job as usual.

It was nice to see the ladies had turned out in strength and a big thank you on behalf of the committee and members to the ladies serving up the beautiful FREE hot pot,apple pie and cream.

Nice to see what your subs go to-wards isn't it.

This one came to mind.

Results to follow as I left early !

Results from Andy Glen 

  Quiz was won by the "Submariners", consisting of Alan, Eddie, and Arthur Higham with a bit of help from Martin Sutcliffe.   They took home the prize of a bottle of wine each.

The second Quiz night and Hot Pot Supper of the year and if the first was anything to go by a good time will be had by all!.

I will certainly make the effort and turn out, my first time for many months.

I was taken to the lake on Saturday by my son who being the caring person he is thought it might be hard for me the first time after our loss.


Then was a nice family on the landing stage and they were waiting for any member to turn up to see if they could sail their boats which they had sat there on their stands. I introduced myself and son John and told them they could sail as my guest and they are very keen to join the club, I'm sure they will be a nice addition to the club, Father, Mother and teenage son, father and son had a Bantock one metre yacht each and very nice boats too. hoping to receive their returned membership form soon.

 So it was fate perhaps that I went yesterday to meet this nice family.

Sales Resistance, of course is the triumph of mind over patter.

"There's a salesman outside with a young lady"
"Tell him I'll take one".

From the "For Sale section of the newspaper: "Home computer, as new. Never been figured out".

How did the new salesman do to-day?.
"He got two orders, One to get out and one to stay out"

That's all folk's

Fiesta Report 2/10/11

Fiesta Report 2/10/11

No full races took place, no wind at all, tried racing but only managed two short races’ that took 25mins each. So we called it off till a later date, possible next week, or November 6^th.

 See you David Lee. 

Bet you got a nice tan though guy's, who would have thought of this weather in October!.

New kid on the Block

Our club seems to be quite keen on "J" Class yachts this year and now there is a new one joining the ranks.

Colin Harrison has just bought one though the services of your club blog "For sale" and Wanted section.

Built by Terry Miles now sailed by Colin and a very nice looking build Terry!

Looking at the others in the distance,are you leading or trailing here Colin?

Registered 306, for those not into this the last two numbers are all that's put on the sails

At the risk of repeating myself ,nice looking boat and the colour is certainly eye catching, just the colour of the scooter I'm thinking of buying Velda when she comes out of hospital.

There are still a few nice kits on the "For sale" section, have you looked at it, or if you have something to sell or want something why not let me know and I will publish it, had quite a success rate up to now.

Lady Fotheringham suffered from flatulence a great deal and was prone to make certain noises when she got excited whilst entertaining friends at the manor, she had a very loyal and discreet butler called James.

Upon hearing these subdued explosions James would instantly say "Excuse me" and promptly leave the room taking the blame with him and saving her Ladyship great embarrassment.

But one day James fell ill and was replaced by a butler from the employment service to help out on an important tea party. In the middle of a conversation with the vicar Lady Fotheringham suffered one of her attacks accompanied by the usual sound effects.

She turned to the new butler and said "James stop that"

"Certainly Madam" said the new James, "Which way did it go?.

Fashion

When he complained that her strapless dress was too daring, she laughed it off.

Its not the cost of a strapless dress its the upkeep.

The outfit made her look a million dollars, all wrinkled and green.

A tight skirt has never yet stopped a girls circulation.

Boom Boom 

That's all folks
