The newly-formed Chipping Norton Yacht Club has today unveiled its burgee. It has been created by talented local graphic designer Chloe Taylor who comes from Spelsbury near Chipping Norton in Oxfordshire and who is currently working at Pinewood Film Studios.

The burgee gets its inspiration from the international code flags 'C' and 'N'. Chloe says "I based the design for the burgee on the 'C' and 'N' of Chipping Norton. I have discovered that code flag 'C' means Yes and code flag 'N' means No. I hope that does not confuse any passing admirals or suggest the club members are indecisive." The design, as well as being used on the club burgee, will be used on a variety of club products from T-shirts to mugs.

The first meeting of the club will be on Wednesday 30th January at the town's golf club on London Road. Membership of the club is open to anyone interested in boats and the sea, not just those who own a boat. People joining before the first meeting will benefit from a 'founder members' discount – annual membership for individuals will be £30 while for a couple it will be £50.
