Gunfleet Boating Club News Letter-

December 2003

…Seasonal Greetings to you and your kin…

Sorry, but can I reiterate the following…It has been agreed that, as of 1st January 2004 a charge for any boat/ trailer combination left in the compound will incur a charge of £20 for the period up to membership renewal. This charge will then be reviewed. If you are aware of any boat/ trailer combination left in the compound by any non-members, please advise them that they have to be removed ASAP. This will be followed up by an advertisement in the local paper.

The Bonfire night, I am sure you will agree, went very well. One of the best yet I have been told. Thanks to Trevor for the towering inferno, Chris and Keith for the Pyrotechnics, Russell (look out Jamie Oliver) and Steve (Behind the scenes) Buer for the gastronomic delights. Kath for pouring the amber nectar and to all the members who supported this event.

The Chinese night went well, well…apart from the fact that they delivered at Beijing central time not GMT. Thanks to everybody involved and once again, thanks to all the members who supported the event.

The fishing competitions are going very well, thanks to Steve Turner. Not much more to say on the sporting front at the moment due to the sub Zero temperatures and artic like conditions; but look on the bright side, the summer is getting closer.

The RNLI horse race night seemed to lack a bit of support, not just from our club but in general. However, I’m sure we can improve on that next year.

Social events planned for the next couple of months are as follows.

The Children’s Christmas party will be on 6th December between 4 and 7pm. An entertainer has been booked and the big fat bloke in the red suit with a white beard will be in attendance. Free photos will be taken of all children receiving their presents and will be available for the proud parents to take away with them on the day. (Please limit you children’s presents to £5)

On the weekend between Christmas and New Year, the club will not be open on Friday 27th or Saturday 28th. However, Sunday 28th will be business as usual.

New Years eve (Normal date of 31st December, not January as stated on the last news letter). The bar will be open and as usual, all are welcome. A list has been placed on the board so everybody knows what buffet food everybody else is bring so we don’t end up with 20,000 sausage rolls and only 1 cocktail sausage.

Cheers  

Jon (Is it summer yet!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!) Moss
