Commodore’s Notes 23rd July 2014

If a week is a long time in politics, it is very short in Budworth!!
As I cheerfully ‘penned’ last week’s Commodore’s Notes, I remained blissfully unaware that in fact I should have been bringing you news of a new Saturday Captain!!! Therefore let me put the record straight, immediately, and let you know that Paul Foden, the Treasurer, has offered to look after the Saturday Sailors as well. So, first and foremost, a big “Thank you” to Paul for ensuring that Saturday sailors now have a voice.
Also, Wednesday Midweek Finale in on AUGUST 27th (not as in the handbook).
Lots more so please read the full article [read more...]

Commodore’s Notes 16th July 2014

I am please to announce that Bill Kenyon has kindly accepted the role of Wednesday Captain, in addition to his role as a Committee Member. This means that the Club does now have a point of reference for any issues relating to Wednesday sailing. I am certain that Bill needs no introduction, so our thanks to him for volunteering.

GP14 Open – Report
We were pleased to welcome several visitors to our 2014 GP14 Open at Budworth this Sunday 1st June. Competitive racing and great social event too! (See pictures on our Gallery page)
The fleet captain had promised “some challenging racing” and it was, although perhaps not quite the challenge he had in mind. A beautiful sunny summer day, but the wind was light and fickle so, as is often the case, playing the shifts was the name of the game! [read more...]
