Wedding 28th February.  We are hosting a wedding here in the Clubhouse on Saturday 28th February. This will comprise of a Wedding Breakfast in the bar, a blessing in the Fabrosa Room leading into an evening party, also in the bar.  As always members are welcome to use the facilities during this and the normal breakfast and evening menu will be available. However, at lunch time we will only be offering this reduced menu.

Winter Berthing. All berth holder who have temporarily repositioned their boat over the winter, are reminded to return it to their allocated berth by the end of February please.  The marina team plan to use many of these, nominally empty, berths for temporary berthing when launching boats so need them free.
