...........................................

We have, on the calendar, another date next Saturday for a low water trip down the river:

I have just sent you an email reminder about the Viking Invasion on 14 June, and the musical evening next Saturday. I wonder if I should send out another email about the Potential Picnic?

Please let me know if you are interested, and when we have checked the weather forecast, I shall send an email to all members who we hold and address for.

This can be a very enjoyable trip if the conditions are right - its all down to the weather.

It was a great day at the club today, a lot of pottering around going on. and even a little sailing! Whatever next?

cheers, David

The forecast for Saturday's day out leads me to suggest it could result in a rather unpleasant picnic.
Pilling sands can be a most unpleasant exposed place in cool easterly conditions, strengthening during the afternoon.
Will review the forecast during the next 36 hours.
Hope to have a more optimistic report !!

One day, maybe, but no way can leave the dogs for so long

Plenty of room out there for dogs to run around, but as Ivan says, good weather is crucial.

Sorry guys,Survival on the sands is off.ESE 4-6 dictates the event is, without doubt, not a good idea.
Although,, if any brave souls wish to continue with the plan, suggest they continue, crossing THE LUNE DEEPS, settling on MORT BANK !
The silence and solitude is even more intense------more a "deathly silence".
But, don't let me spoil your day.
You may enjoy it !
Downpours, thunder and lightning could add to your experience.
See you in the clubhouse.
Ivan
