Visit the bar!<br />
Most of our events are<br />
accompanied by a drink and<br />
good company at our lovely<br />
club house bar, complete with<br />
deck looking over the marina.<br />
On Friday nights the bar is<br />
always open, and our resident<br />
chef Graeme cooks<br />
reasonably-priced hot meals,<br />
and on race days he does<br />
things like nachos, and steak<br />
or sausage sandwiches. At<br />
other times you can buy pies<br />
and snacks from the bar.<br />
You can now get Julicher<br />
wines at the bar – a step up<br />
from the usual house wine.<br />
Kids are welcome at all times:<br />
we’re family friendly.<br />
<strong>The</strong> bar is open on:<br />
• Fridays 1700-2230<br />
• Saturdays 1600-1800<br />
• Sundays 1600-1900 on<br />
non-race days, or from<br />
the end of racing until<br />
1900 on race days<br />

Fujitsu Heatpumps Friday racing<br />
On Friday nights come and join in our<br />
more relaxed form of racing, going off in<br />
groups according to your handicap, and<br />
with no spinnakers. It’s a pursuit race:<br />
you try to catch up boats ahead of you,<br />
so that we all finish at the same time.<br />
<strong>The</strong>re’s nothing like it to start the<br />
weekend, and you can stay for ….<br />
Friday night meals<br />
Look, I’m rilly, rilly sorry (not), but who<br />
could resist? Our chef Graeme, who has<br />
just had his catering contract renewed<br />
(congratulations Graeme!) is just as<br />
good looking, and turns out lovely hot<br />
meals every Friday at a very reasonable<br />
price. Come along after work, bring the<br />
kids (there are meals for them too), and<br />
let them run around outside while you<br />
eat and have a nice drink in peace and<br />
quiet, enjoying the sunset on the deck.<br />
