On one of the first weekends with decent weather, a group of members met at the clubhouse to take a gentle walk to the Hampton Inn and back. Thanks to the Hampton Inn team for a great welcome and lovely food.

As usual the first three days 31st, 1st & 2nd will be focused on the cadets. The provisional plan for the week is below. As always places are limited so if you are planning to attend please reply promptly. The priority-booking period for cadets and family relatives will end on Monday May 29th. Cadets will have priority, but all forms must be back by 29th May with a £15 entry. Following the priority-booking period, any remaining places will be offered on a first-come-first -served basis to all comers at a charge of £50, which will cover the cost of the event and give them membership for the remainder of the year.

Finally if we are to be successful we will need help from members beyond the parents of children participating.

Look forward to hearing from you and, even more, to seeing you on the 3rd. All the best. Tony & Viv Monday 2nd January, 2017, heralds the Commodore's Punch Up, which was deferred from Boxing Day, 2016. Members congregated at the Sailing Club to drink punch, eat Game Pie and catch up with each other, exchanging news.
However, this was not the only event of the day, for a few brave hardy souls, January 2nd was the time to take the first swim of the year. Simone Royer, Joseph Ekins, Jacob Ekins and Tom Aldwinckle were game for the first dip of the year, according to the Sailing Club Weather, it was a minimum of 7 deg C and that this I presume is the air temperature though I could be wrong, I was not prepared to check this out for myself. The dip of these hardy souls was brief as the photos will testify but full credit to them they went ahead and ran into the sea and submerged and then ran out even quicker. Liz Smith The annual HBSC dinner and dance at the Walpole Hotel saw the presentation of the club Championship trophies, the series trophies, the disaster trophy and the Orb followed by several hours of enthusiastic dancing, singing and tambourine playing to The Moments. A great time was had by members, family and friends in celebration of a fabulous year at Herne Bay Sailing Club.
Club Championship: 1st Colin Smith 2nd Maria and Brian Golton 3rd Allan McNeil Spring series: Olaf Throndsen Summer series: Allan McNeil Late Summer series: Steve Owen Ladies Race: Magdalena Gawecka Disaster trophy: Sally Pratley-Woodward Orb: Clare Dunning Well the summer has been superb, weather and sailing alike, and I've very much enjoyed the sailing and socialising this season. Only one sailing series left, the freezer series, and then it is all over for the sailing for another year, unless you are off to Westbere. This brings me to the matter in hand. Four weeks to the slipway upping and the merry hard working band of members to put the slipway to bed for another season. Here lies my message. To make this as smooth and as quick as possible, with the preparation of the following years slipway laying, could I ask for some volunteers for a couple of key roles please. In no particular order:
Its an early start again (they always seem to be) SATURDAY 29th OCTOBER 06.00 START. All your help is always appreciated, even if you can't do all morning any time you can offer is greatly received plus the banter of the old boys (ed: and the girls!) is worth coming for. So with bacon rolls, gallons of tea and coffee the slipway will rise again ready to be laid again next year. For those generous and kind people who would like to volunteer for these roles please let me know: jameswoodwarduk@yahoo.co.uk See you all for the last four weeks sailing and at the upping and upping supper. The slipway upping supper and presentation of some of the trophies will be at 7pm for 7.30pm. Email hernebaysailing@btconnect.com to sign up for the supper, or let Alistair know on the day.
