You will have received an email giving you the new gate code last night but please don’t use it.
Boris Johnson said people would only be allowed to leave their homes in future for specific and limited purposes:
■ Shopping for "basic necessities", as infrequently as possible. People should use delivery services, where they can
■ Medical reasons, to provide care or to help a vulnerable person
■ Travelling to and from work, but only if it is "absolutely necessary"
The measures will last for three weeks from 23 March before being reviewed.
Sadly this does not include trips to our lovely club.
Hello all, after committee consultations and following the RYA guidelines, the club will remain open for personal use and for Sunday racing, but the galley will not be open and you will need to bring your own food/drink. If you decide to use the facilities, then please consider your own safety and follow the government’s guidelines on personal space and safe distancing. This will apply until further notice.

EarlyBird 1 Handicap Race 11.30 am 15.03.20
ROD Tim Waller ...Assistants Rob & Ava .
Eight Craft Raced
The wind is certainly maintaining a strong presence of late and although it made us work hard on the two beats , it was all worth it for the thrilling rides on both the reach from 5 upto 3 buoy and equally as powerful run down to 1 from 4 buoy on the identical figure of eight course used by Malc last Sunday , with only the absense of 2 buoy .
Penty Power were keen to get their noses out infront after their slight glitch last Sunday , but not taking anything away from Gemma and Richard Hanby , who kept on the tails of the RS pros throuhhout the days races , making some competitive duals.
Stephen Blair started where he left off last week , sat in the water as the Supanova went out of control after returning to the jetty for a quick repair . Super man Brian Kelly came to the aid of Stephen , jumping in to grab hold of the Supanova , before it shot off up the lake prior to the start of the race .
Stephen managed to get back into his craft and even after his ordeal managed to settle into what turned out to be a good comprehensive race , half a leg off the RS200's and ahead of Angus Illingworth who slipped slightly off the pace .
Lord Ibbotson followed the Supanova of Angus , with Stu rapidly catching on the screaming reach and after striking a buoy and taking a dip Tim Bell just managed to right the Streaker, as Roy Jefford maintaining a dry race came to within two boat lengths of Tim , before Tim eased away again .
Stu as with Tim also found himself picking up a penalty after his boom struck four buoy ,but luckerly enough for Stu , it had no impact on his final result after falling off the pace , due to his 360 turn .

Fleet Racing .
Again we were down to just two fleets gracing the waters in the afternoon races , those being The Handicap and Streaker Fleet with our only Mirror of Matt Grayson having to tag along with Handicap bunch , but equally enjoying the thrills perched safely in Little Britches .
Steve Hanby and our hero Brian along with John Manning in the Sprint 15 made the handicap fleet upto eight in the first race and with the two Supanovas and Martin Ibbotson resting up for the second , we had a welcomed suprise of Chris White taking to the waters in a recently acquired Sprint 18 .
The Streakers were down to three , with Jon Aldhous replacing Roy Jefford, ,to give Stu a lesson in high wind Streaker sailing .
Jon led from start to finish in both races , but Stu should be pleased with his efforts , after keeping pace with Jon in the second race finishing a mere five boat lengths off the Ace .
Tim Belll sadly fell off the chase , with the older Streaker not happy to lift onto the plane and with water filled tanks not helping the failing situation.

8.3.20 EarlyBird 1 & Spring Points Fleet Racing
ROD Malc Ellwood & Elaine Ellwood
I must confess that even I was thinking of not going today , but as with all that travelled the extra miles due to the floods , it was certainly worth the effort , if only to have a dinner to die for , cooked my Ma Penty .
Malc was probably thinking , ney hoping , that the first Handicap race would be a no goer , but there's always a few die hard brave ones willing to put life and limb on the line for that adrenaline boost of a rip rawing plane .
Gemma paired up Richard Hanby took a stronghold on the lead , with Penty Power , after taking an unexpected dip having to settle for an hard earnt wet second place on the water .
Tim Bell started the new season with a good comprehensive start , timed to perfection , rounding 5 bouy on the first beat in third place and fronting the two Streakers of Roy Jefford and Stu . Stu as with Finn man Martin Ibbotson held back on the jetties until the last minute , a little apprehensive , as the wind had whipped up airing on potential wet bum time , to a definite bath , but managed to cross the start line well off the leaders .
Young Archie Burton was not phased by the unruly winds and gradually worked his way through the field of drowning craft , as first Tim Bell then Roy Jefford , followed by Steve and Bri , the Supanova of Steve Blair and surprisingly Martin and Luke were blown over , leaving the back markers to capalatise on their misery .
Angus Illingworth certainly made a wise choice by opting for the reduced sail area and hung on staying dry to battle with Stu and Lord Ibbotson.

Fleet Racing.
The Handicap fleet had an unexpected boost with Sam Waller taking the helm with Dad Tim crewing , John Manning in the Sprint 15 and the six million dollar man Matt Grayson giving Little Britches a good wash and Thomas Penty helming the Aero lifting the numbers to an healthy 10 out in strong gusty conditions.
Sam and Tim are obviously a good match these days and brought the RS200 home with two good victories and managed to maintain a dry boat , where as the others were not so lucky .
Archie finished his day with a good second place which will certainly put him in good stead for his future Topper events .
Gemma and Richard were not so lucky in the afternoons races and had to settle for an underpowered rig due to a kite sheet snapping.

Streaker Fleet
Quentin joined the three Streakers of Roy , Stu and Tim , all up to get those precious points on the leader board of the first of the Streaker Fleet Summer Points.
Again Tim Bell got a good start , but it was Stu that made the most of the great conditions , with the new Streaker coming into its elements and flying on the reaches from 5 buoy upto 4 and the run , equally exhilarating from 3 down to 2 buoy on the figure of eight courses .
Tim was unfortunate to loose a good second place to Quentin as again was overcome by a gust and never really caught up afterwards .
Roy was happy to stay dry after his early dip and in the older wooden boat was pleased with his days sailing .
Stu maintained his good start to this year's campaign by flying off in the second race and just hopes Jon Aldhous stays away .
