On the boat work page I have put my experience of rejuvenating an existing mooring using screw type sinkers. It includes costings and strategies which may be useful.

it’s that time of year again. You know you have missed it!

Sunday 12th May 10:00h at the sheds. Inside and outside tasks to be done include clearing and gardening. Details on the email.

Just a reminder that there will be a working party at the Sheds this coming Sunday, 12th May from 10am to 4pm. Bacon and sausage rolls will be available for the workers. If you have a strimmer that you can bring that would be useful. Most of the work will be clearing up around the sheds, cutting back grass, and replacing guttering.

Do let me (Anthony) know if you will be coming so we have an idea of the numbers for catering.

It seems such a long time time we met over a glass or two to discuss the season ahead. Even though it is a bank holiday, we will be holding a social meet up on Monday 6th May at Wivenhoe sailing club. Usual time!

I trust you are all planning and working hard for the new season ahead. Just a quick note to let you know that as the April social meeting falls on Easter Monday and so we have decided not to hold it. The next social meeting will therefore be on Bank Holiday Monday, 6th May at 8pm. We will gather at WSC as usual. We hope many of you can make that event.

Regards, Anthony

The next Social Meeting will be held on Monday 4th March at 20:00 at Wivenhoe Sailing club. Planning for the season ahead and a film.

The New Year meal will be held on Monday 11^th March at 7.30pm. Will be at “The Old Courthouse Inn, Harwich Rd, Colchester, CO7 7JG

The Courthouse need to know numbers by Monday 26th February so please let me know by this coming Monday if you wish to be included. It’s a good event at which to chat about last year and plans for next year.

Regards, Anthony
