Please save us two tickets, as we can only collect on the day. Looking forward to seeing everyone then.
Thanks, Chris Booth

Did anyone else see last night's "Countryfile" on BBC1? It had quite a lot about the Furness area, including Barrow, Walney and Piel.They had Matt sailing on a prawner to arrive at Piel with a gift for the King (two hens for the menagerie). If interested, you could see it on the BBCiplayer...

Yes, thank you Val and Doug sooo much. We realise that these things don't just happen without a lot of time and effort - many people don't work so hard as you did for the 50th Anniversary Celebrations in their (paid) day-job! We have long said that GSC members are a formidable force when they combin...

Please all have a look at this. It's fairly lengthy, but read on past when he saved the child while the parents were oblivious nearby.

There is a strange anomaly when using Chrome to access our club wespace, if you try to get on the member's area using the old url glassonsc.org.uk you will be denied access. So the remedy is to use the link below and delete any traces of your old ones: www.GlassonSailing.co.uk Soon the old one will ...

Yes, it was great. So many people enjoying themselves, and appreciating the new outside sitting area too. Actually, Val, the total is now £256! Because today (Sun) we had a donation from some people who came today (wrong day, but they said, "well, we would have spent that if we had come to the ...

Yes, it was good. Thanks Val for arranging this. If anyone else is interested in sailing "Tenacity", there is a poster on the notice board advertising delivery trips as well as "cruises". Colin (skipper) said that the delivery trips looked cheap (4 days for £100 I think it was), ...

Thank you so much Lorna and Andy for all the work in producing and distributing our Club magazine. Thanks too, to the contributors for such interesting and varied articles. GSC is certainly a force to be reckoned with in the skills and talent department (as well as in racing round the Isle of Mann)....

Thanks Val and Dave for organising this. We had to leave early to do an airport pick up, but I did ring around 23.00 to hear who had won. Congratulations Jeff. I believe that Micheal G joined John B in potting the black. Is that right? Can someone do a quick explanation, and maybe some photos. There...

Of course - the more the merrier. Will need signing in in the usual way that's all.

I must say to anyone else who has read Val's post, that the games are not compulsory, though the food, friends and music are.

I've not heard anything about how the the planning meeting for 2012 Summer Cruise went yet. We couldn't be there. Could it be Solway????
C

Thanks Mick, you were spot on in framing the fireworks. I couldn't be there, but it looked like a good "Do"

It looks like a really good night. I checked out their website - Wow. Thanks Val for arranging this..... the mulled wine will be nice too.

"Will we be doing it?" you say. Well, not all the social stuff, because we have a big "Do" only a month later for GSC's 50th Anniversary at Regatta weekend. Cruisers usually go away that weekend on their Summer Cruise in Company. That still leaves the dinghies, and people not inv...

Right, that's it then - there is enough talent and interest to have an exhibition in the Spring, when, you have had the dark winter nights to work on your offerings. I propose that any which you artists put forward for sale (and not all of the exhibition would have to be for sale) could be sold on t...

A couple of people have asked that we display, at the Laying up Supper, some of the artwork which has been produced by sailing club members. It was suggested that we have a competition, but I have reservations about that..... art is very personal, and who are we to "judge"? Perhaps I am th...

John sent us this text yesterday with a request to publish it, as he has no internet access :- "We had to put in at La Corruna last night wind on the nose and big sea. This morning wind gone North and we are sailing round Cape to Rio las Caraminas. Hot sunny super sailing F4 W Y W H all the bes...

I'm probably the last to know...... where are you going? Canaries? Can you tell us your rough passage plan?

Brilliant pictures Michael..... are they yours? Thanks for your valiant efforts along with others in the OD box, and for getting the results out so quickly on the day.

Goodness, they are really pushing the boat out at Fleetwood - Lifeboat pull on 5th June, then this on 18th. And as per poster in GSC foyer, the RNLI North West has got a walk across Morecambe Bay on 25th June.

Thanks to everyone who braved force 7 and rain to come to this event. http://freespace.virgin.net/glasson.sc/assets/images/tea_ladies.jpg We raised £170.10 for Sail4cancer. £37+ was from the bricabrac - thanks Doug and Chris for organising that. The rest was from sales of tea and cakes. Thanks to ev...

Found this on the Fleetwood Lifeboat website when I was looking for the address to send the raffle cheque (£61.50 from the Tea Party on Sat, see separate topic). It may be of more interest to some of you than a Tea Party!:- Pulling for the RNLI Sunday June 5th 2011 We need teams of 6 to 8 persons to...

John, that sounds really good.... if only it were June, I'd be tempted. As it is, I will leave it to the more intrepid sailors. I had checked the programme, and there was nothing on at Easter, so I booked the Lifeboat talk, but within a few hours of putting up the poster in the Club, I was told abou...

Wow, what a treat this new Mainsheet is. Well re-produced photos and interesting articles. Thank you very much Lorna (editor) and all the people who contributed. I can only imagine how much work went into laying it out, organising the printing and even then not being finished, as they all needed put...

Ps, I forgot to point out, to those unfamiliar with Liverpool, that the new museum (named Museum of Liverpool) is the long white cantilevered building in the background of Mike's photo.
