GSC Forum

No official racing but day boats and dinghys will be about from 10.20 BST. Cruisers etc from 10.30 when the basin gate goes down, All ..ish timing.


Ive just seen the time, but at least it got posted. David

Tony has asked me to send out by email to all members for whom we hold an email address his official notice of this year's Agm.

I shall do that just as soon as I have a normal Internet connection.

Cheers David

Well, the tide will be organised anyway, so go for it Mick.... and no stopping off en route.
Our two little rascals are to blame for us not being there. We booked a really family friendly festival which they go to every year. Pity about the date, cos our Leisure 17 is ready to go.

Currently recovering at Conwy after a long roughish passage. Bbq tonight. David

Wow, John. Where exactly is this gorgeous looking place that you are showing us on the GSC cameras? Golden sand, blue sky, green grass... all true colours except probably the golden sand!
Whatever you've done, it's brill, thanks.

It's a shame that we will miss it. We are at a family wedding that day.

Hi duncan.

We have got the wire thanks. Its the fender timber we are short of now. Ive got some screws. Cheers David

Thanks George. So it must be me! Cos if you scale it down,the only difference is that I put some of my egg into the mix, and used the rest as a glaze. I've done it both ways (ie with egg in the mix, or just milk to mix), and they still don't look like your picture - which is what I'm aiming for). Cx...

Thanks Alison. Also thanks Ann for offering Victoria sandwich and "something chocolatey", Linda was experimenting with "something orangey/marshmallowy", and I'll also do a chocolate cake. I wonder if Jeff's harem have deserted him now he has retired. Wish I could make nice scones...

Ooops, little mistake in my post.
Brew for Crew IS 5TH JULY..... But of course that is two weeks on Sat, not a week on Sat. I'm wishing my life away saying things like that.

Hi Derek, Glad you will be joining us next time. In the meantime, what about a week on Sat (5th July) Brew for the Crew in aid of lifeboats. You don't even need to dress up - we do. Some of us women that is, dress up as waitresses and serve home made cakes and tea to paying GSC members, guests and l...

Whaaat? I don't believe it. Sorry I don't know who you are Derek - but I do know that if any of us had known that you had a problem, whoever you were, we would have helped. I take it that you did get to the shore by rowing? I don't suppose that the prop would be found even at low water, even if you ...

It is wonderful how seagulls always stand onthe same patch of sand from one day to the next!

What a lovely evening. Thanks Val for arranging it. As well as the music, the local interest was.... well, "interesting". There were lots of new faces in the audience - I hope the blustery conditions don't put them off coming to GSC again. The Club though, was very snug and warm inside, wi...

Sorry Val. I can't get there. Lent my car for son in law to get to work as his in the garage. Good luck with the Pizzas! Forecast looks good anyway.

Lorna, just opened ours today. Brilliant. Thankyou. But not just you -to all the contributors a big thankyou. I know how long these things take, from doing our Toggenberg Tales. As for complaints of no obituary (elsewhere on this forum).... I'm sure you would have included that had you known. We cer...

I hope I'm not out of turn Val, saying this. I don't know if everyone remembers, but Val needs to stay home and comfort dogs when fireworks are going off. So, in terms of organising Bonfire night, it will be everyone mucking in. David and Val publicize the event JH has in the past obtained fireworks...

Michael, thankyou so much for this - it's absolutely priceless. I second Ian's post above, and must confess that I had a tear in my eye at the end. It is so much better that a video, because it gives you time to look at things properly, and not just "see" them. It must have taken hours to ...

Love the pics. Are you bringing them to the film show on Regatta weekend? And it would also be good to see that one of Brian singing in the pub (last yr?), and better still if he brought his music for a live session. In Oneiro (our first boat, so we were novices) we "anchored" in that plac...

What an interesting evening. Thanks everyone. Micheal's background slideshow 7-8pm before the main event was very effective in bringing back memories and provoking discussion. Do you know that you can look on the website for old Mainsheets and archives if you want real nostalgia?. Brian (Bryan?), wh...

We got here 11am. Still no snow. The Clubhouse was sooo welcoming. Mount Vesuvius was churning out heat, and everywhere looked clean and tidy. Just washed my hands in hot water in the "Ladies" too. We are spoilt.

Micheal - whatever do you mean...."boring"? Your audience will be very interested - it is a sailing Club, not the Women's Institute.

Glad you enjoyed it. A few years ago I thought that we needed something to fill the gap between the buffet and midnight... otherwise it's just a waiting game, and we can't always expect Big John to entertain us. We can sit around chatting with friends any other night, so lets do something a bit diff...

Excellent choice. Thankyou Martin and Daniel. Look forward to seeing you.

Regarding food on Bonfire night - I will bring some sausage rolls . As you say Val, we usually get a good variety, leaning towards "comfort food" such as soup, hotpot, pork pies,and parkin, to reflect the weather conditions. Just a little request though..... we are short of oven shelves. S...
