Ladies and Gentlemen,

We hope you are well and making the most of the longer days and better weather.  As a gentle reminder whilst we welcome people working in the bar area, especially if buying food & drink, if you need to make voice calls please move to a more private location.  If you would like somewhere private to work we do have some spaces available.  Please come and speak to book.   

Just a few things to bring to your attention please: 

Electricity Cables.  Please will anyone who has been using a club meter cable on the pontoon return them to the Marina Office. 

St George's Day Club Night - 24th April.  The Club Night on 24th April to celebrate St George's Day will incorporate another 50% off drinks Happy Hour.  This precedes the Club Rally to Cowes, so why not come down enjoy the night and stay on your boat before setting off, feeling slightly shabby, for Cowes.

Commodore's Dinner - 22nd May.  The book is now open for full members to put their names down for the Commodore's Dinner on 22nd May.  More details can be found below.

Regards, 

Kieran

Martin Pound. Club members are invited to celebrate the life, well lived, of Martin Pound at 1500 on 15th May, here at HSSC.

Coastal Forces Heritage TrustHSSC has a deep connection to the Coastal Forces story. The Navy ran small fast craft out of here from 1915 until the late 1950s and its a terrific story of ordinary people doing extraordinary things. The Coastal Forces' Memorial is here and the annual Remembrance Service is a highlight of the Hornet calendar.

The Coastal Forces' Heritage Trust is building a landmark monument to Coastal Forces and the Royal Naval Volunteer Reserve which will be located at Victory Gate over in the Historic Dockyard. A million people a year will see it and, hopefully, be inspired.

To help raise funds, the Trust is running an online Crowdfunding Event over the weekend of 8-11 May. Please support the Appeal and if you would like to get involved, get in touch with fundraising@coastal-forces.org.uk or speak with Richard Farrington.
