This weekend’s working party had Keith Thomas recording the events with his own asides.
Stephen Kirkpatrick shows concentration putting the barrow
in the hole instead of the concrete. Toggle tells him off and
and Scumper obviously is keeping well clear
Neil, Alan and Andy Smith busy with cement mixer
Andy T and Phil show serious concentration whilst digging the holes
I would like to say a huge thank you to everyone who has helped this weekend to repaint much of the clubhouse. A massive amount has been achieved.
For those who weren’t able to come along, please don’t feel guilty as another day will be arranged in the next few weeks to finish a few things off, followed by an outside working party before the start of the season.
Watch this space for arrangements.
Thanks once again.
Stephen

Mike Turner has finished gathering the sponsor monies for his recent swim and is delighted to announce a total of �803 has been collected in aid of the Bedford Oncology Unit. This amount will be increased by the tax man through gift aid declarations.
Mike wishes to reiterate his heart felt thanks for everyone’s sterling efforts (seems the wrong way round!) in enabling such a great donation to be possible.
Many congratulations to Ethan Dawson who was sailing at Carsington over the weekend and successfully qualified to be part of the Topper 4.2 National squad.
It is with sadness we advise that long standing member Peter Davis passed away at the weekend following a long illness. His funeral is to be held at St Mary’s RC Church, Cleator Moor at 10am on Monday 18 October.
He enjoyed many weekends sailing with his family at Bassenthwaite, and the many friends he made. His family are not certain that they enjoyed the wet Bass Weeks camping in the rain quite as much!
Our thoughts are with his children at this sad time.
Bolton S C hosted the final event of the North West Junior Travellers 10 race series on Saturday. The challenging wind conditions resulted in several capsizes which kept the rescue crews very busy. This was Sam’s first season as a youth and the competition was closely contested throughout. It was down to the final event to decide the winner. Sam finished first overall and was awarded the NWJT trophy and several other prizes from the series sponsor 1st. Mark.
Congratulations to Nick and Nat Smith on the birth of Daisy Elise who weighed in at 8lb8oz at 9.40pm on 22 September, and is a third grand-daughter for Alan and Pat Smith.
Congratulations to Dave and Pete Lawson having won the GP Masters held in Windermere this weekend in a strong fleet of over 30 boats.
John Telford and Andy Smith teamed up again after several years break and secured an excellent second place. Well done Team Bass!
Mik Chappell spotted this the other day. Fortunately the forecast has moderated somewhat!
