Speaking of clubs......the class that 'dare not speak it's name' should have been racing at Haversham this weekend but the lake is sadly blocked by weed. However nearby Emberton Park SC has stepped into the breach and the dynamic little boats will go there.

Post of the week right there

I bet it doesn't appear in the "what they said" section of the magazine though!
Successfully confusing ambition with ability since 1980.

Porn industry isn't known for it's sensitivity or respect of others sensitivities......they're not likely to blush about anything.

I think owners of successful mediocre premiership football clubs would take 'bad publicity' in their own stride... It got some newspaper attention, which is more than a sailing club normally can.

As far as club racing goes we are OK at ours. Last night was our last official Wednesday night. 45 min pursuit race, 18 boats, lovely clear evening, drifting for first half then filled in nicely for second. Then off for a cheap Italian and beer for a celebration.  Presentation of trophy called 'Quayletailender' donated some years ago by long standing member Peter Quayle. 

Just good fun with some of the nicest people in the World. In case sometimes we forget why we keep doing it!
