Happy Return is now undercover and tucked away safely in the Penzance wet dock and we can look back on a very successful sailing season.
We’ve had some great trips to the Scillies, bay sails full of wildlife and a fantastic trip to Looe Lugger festival where we soundly beat off our friends on Barnabas with our superior crew ( in both skill and age🤣), as well as relaxing sails around the Lizard for visits to the Helford and St Mawes.
We also had some very enjoyable social events including a curry night at PZ sailing club , a get together at quay fair day, training and social nights as well as our usual monthly pub meets.
So where to next year?
Firstly we have our New Year dinner at the Lugger Inn in Penzance on 17th January where for the first time we will have music from Jay Cee & Bee lead by one of our founder members Bob Glanville. Places for this are filling fast so if you haven’t booked please make contact with James using details on our web site, as we will very shortly need to let the venue have our numbers.
Also in January we will have another education and social night at the Penzance sailing club date TBC.
There will be no Wednesday social in January.
Our maintenance schedule will start soon so please look out for calls for volunteers so we will be ship shape for the start of our season in April/May.
Sailing wise the skippers and mates will be getting together to produce our program for the new season which may include such events as Mousehole Sea salt & Sail , Quay fair day, Porthleven weekends, Scillies trips and possibly a run across the channel for some French festivals. Also more social events in Penzance and Porthleven.
Then in March we will have our AGM where we will launch the sailing program and elect our committee. We have vacancies on both the committee and secretary positions, if you are interested please call me!
Finally thank you for all your support especially the Skippers and mates without them we could not sail or learn the skills which our association is built on.
From all in the committee may we wish you a Happy Christmas and New Year,
We look forward to seeing you all soon!
Best Regards
James
