<p><font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" size="2"><b>Christmas
lunch at Worthing Yacht Club 16th December </b></font></p>
<p><font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" size="2">It's that time
of year again when we are being propelled into the commercial nightmare
that annually fuels the spending frenzy that Christmas appears to
have become. In the spirit of trying to recapture the happy times
that the festive season used to hold for us, the club once again
is hosting a Christmas lunch and party on 16th December. This year
we are trying to get multiple members invovled and hopefully Anne
will be able to sit down with her family for the first time ever
and enjoy a nice lunch while we run around after her (though I think
we might have to tie her to the chair). Tickets will be £8
each which covers a great Christmas lunch for all and a present
forall the children who attend (as long as we have names and ages
in advance). Tickets are available by phoning Anne, from the club
on any Sunday afternoon or by <a href="form.html">Emailing</a> me.
If you have never been before then the order of the day is as follows:</font></p>
<p><font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" size="2">Christmas lunch
for all with all the trimmings, cooked and served by your fellow
members. This is followed by a team junior challenge. The challenge
is designed to involve all kids regardless of age and as many adults
as they can persuade to join them (usually most of the adults).
It's a lot of fun and even the very shy get quickly drawn in. A
team prize is shared by all (winners and losers) then Santa arrives
to give all the children a present. The bar is open to ensure all
adults enjoy the event as much as the kids and the afternoon is
always a great success. We can only seat about 70 comfortable and
since members like to bring their families we sould ask that you
book early to avoid disappointment since we do end up turning people
away who try to book late</font></p>

open on Sunday afternoons for rest of year</b></font></font></font></p>
<p><font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" size="2">Sadly the sailing
season ends with a stormy day in October and it is time to take
masts down and tidy up the compound and secure boats for the winter.
Remember if you don't take your mast down and a big storm comes
in we take them down with bolt croppers to stop the damage to other
boats for which you will be liable if we don't get it down in time.
Every year we end up dropping some selfish person's mast and we
are getting fed up with it. MAybe we will introduce a rule into
the AGM that carries a forfeit from the owners to a local charity
each time we do this.</font></p>
<p><font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" size="2">On the plus
side, David, Clive and Neil propose to keep the bar open on a Sunday
afternoon as long as members wnat to come up for a drink. If you
don't come they won't waste their time but if you want to use the
bar until the end of the year, they are willing to open up</font></p>

dinner-dance and prize giving 12th Jaunary 2008</b></font></p>
<p><font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" size="2">Once again the
annual dinner dance and prize giving will be held at the Ardington
Hotel, Steyne Gardens, Worthing. This is a black tie event where
everyone in the club has an opportunity to dress up and enjoy themselves.
Tickets are priced at a very reasonable £30 which covers all
the entertainment and an excellent dinner (which is why we are returning
again to the Ardington). The hotel can only seat 90 max however,
and this is a very popular event so please book you tickets early
to avoid disappointment as we will have to turn everyone away once
we reach that number. You can get tickets by phoning Anne or from
the club on a Sunday afternoon or by <a href="form.html">Emailing</a>
me. I addition I plan to send out a mail drop in the next few days
to allow people to do this by snail mail. If you don't get a letter,
however, it means we don't have your current address so please get
in touch (details in the diary)</font></p>
