CBC Boat Jumble Saturday 2nd. April Kilmelford Village Hall
We urgently need boat (and other) jumble to sell on the Club Stand - please contact me if you have anything 'sellable' that you would be willing to donate.  Alternatively, if you would like the Club to sell more valuable items on your behalf then we would be willing to do that against a commission on the sale. Just give me a call on 01852 500272 or 07768 613319

Cadet Sailing.
Lifejackets - As you all now, we have a rule that all cadets must turn up with a sound, well fitting lifejacket (minimum 50 Newtons). We have been discussing this with the Ardfern yacht centre and arranged that the Club members have a special deal for two particular junior lifejackets - I will have details of these latest by the next newsletter.

Clyde Corinthian Racing Weekend  4-5th September / Flying Fifteens
'Passage Race' Ardfern / Craobh Saturday 4th September.  After  consultation with the Clyde Corinthian Club, it has been agreed that the Flying Fifteens will  be given their own race for this day with a separate start from the other keelboats - probably ten minutes earlier.  The winner of the Fifteens race will be awarded a cup being specially prepared for the occasion.  It is hoped that this will overcome some previous issues regarding the Fifteens and the bigger keelboats. We are really keen to put out as big a fleet of Fifteens on the day as possible so please put this date in your diaries now. There will be no change for the Sunday 'Round Shuna' pursuit race and the Fifteens wil start as usual with the other 19.5 handicappers for this race.

Pub Night.
We had an excellent turnout last Friday - see you all tomorrow night at the Galley - usual time - from 6:30-7pm.
