It is with great sadness I have just heard that after a long battle with cancer Alex has passed away. The strength, fortitude and good humour he showed during his long struggle was a true measure of the man. On behalf of myself and the members of the committee I would like to offer our deep felt con...

Hi Duncan Sorry your trip was cut short by engine problems. I used to have the same engine in my boat and got hold of the full manual for the Rolls Royce Ruhak, Wisconsin and Ducatti engines. I passed the manual onto Martin Hornsby It might be worth contacting him, I am sure he will still have it as...

Dear Members As some of you will be aware, damage has occurred to the sea wall during last weeks storm and high tides. Unfortunately under the terms of our lease the wall is the clubs responsibility . Initially it was thought that a reinstating of the stones and a few patches of concrete would repai...

Hi Michael Your suggestion is noted and has previously been considered. What you are probably not aware of is that the sea wall at this point is showing signs of heaving and some subsidence is apparent above on the club land . We are currently in talks with our landlord on this and until we get some...

Hi Ivan
because we are not having entry fees does not mean we can't have prizes (I was thinking more of B&M Bargains) . I hope the clap or should I have said the clapping improves!!

Long gone are the dark days when GSC didn't have a tanner to scratch its backside with. We will NOT be asking for entry fees for members to enter club events. As far as prizes are concerned if anyone feels that this is a good idea then please do not hesitate to put your Ideas in the suggestion box o...

Thanks to all the volunteers who helped on the working party. It was quite amazing what you all achieved in such a short time.
Thanks Again

What can I say ? Val organised this with consummate proffesionalism and the evening went flawlessly. From the mass of feedback I have had, the night was deemed to be a roaring success. A SPECIAL THANK YOU VAL and also to the members that supported her.

Hi Jem

I have agreed with Michael to do rescue boat. Where are those damn thermals!!!!?

I dont seem to be able to see a report on Sundays racing or the results of the full series. I think it is because the winner is too modest to reveal himself?!!! . Come on Martin Lord you have the photographic evidence, lets be havin him exposed.

Brian Samuels Has kindly agreed to keep the lock gate open for an extra hour on Saturday and Sunday for the racers.
Also remember you can raft up on the Jetty if you run out of time.
Doug.

Remember it well, had to drag a few dinghys of the river bank with the rescue boat. they always said it was the unpredictable tide and current not the beer that caused the problems. You should try and get it started again they could drink a pint of orange or as them Southerners do A pint of shandy. ...
