Dear Victoria skippers.
Weather looks good for this Wednesday 20th, so racing is ON.
See you at Silvermere around 10am. Grahame.
December Club Meeting
For many years we have had a Christmas Party at Byfleet Boat Club (BBC) but we are not able to repeat it this year. One of our members, Gordon Edmondson, was also a member of the BBC so we were able to hire their club rooms, but as a result of Gordon’s death we are no longer allowed to hire the rooms.
We tried to organise a club meeting at Silvermere but unfortunately the whole of The Inn on the Lake will be closed on 2nd and 9th December for some electrical work. Therefore, there is no Monday evening meeting in December. However, we are looking to make the meeting on 13th January a bit more special – more details to follow.
Ron Young Trophy
On Monday 11th November the Ron Young trophy was awarded to the vessel Perseverance (a Caldercraft kit based on the tug Imara) which was jointly presented by Dave Steggles and John Shoesmith. As I understand it, the boat is owned by Dave, both Dave and John completely refurbished the boat and Dave fitted the steam plant.

We are planning on racing Victoria’s today as there appears to be a favourable breeze. See you there from 10.00
Dear Victoria Skippers as the wind forecast for this coming Wednesday 6th November is again 1 mph we have decided to postpone Victoria racing for the second week in a row. We will gather as last week and sail power and chat modelling matters.
Dates will be advised once wind conditions are forecast to be more favourable for yacht racing.
Regards
Richard C & Grahame P.
