Well, our 2009 sailing season has finally started and we’ve already hosted a major event (before our own boats have even touched the water)

Last week’s Topper Association Winter Regatta was a resounding success and we’ve had lots of thank you notes from competitors and their families, a typical one reads:

“I would be very grateful if you could pass on my thanks to Bassenthwaite Sailing Club for the excellent time we had at the Topper Northern Winter Regatta. Your Club managed to combine relaxed friendliness from every one we met with efficient organisation on and off the water, and my son and I thoroughly enjoyed our week end. I hope you have a successful season on your beautiful lake.”

I’d like to thank those of you who helped to make the event a success either during the preparations running up to the weekend or during the event itself (which was pretty hectic for many of you)

The competitors and their families were most impressed with the welcome we gave to them and the efficiency of our organisation, all of which is down to your hard work and dedication.

From our point of view I’m sure you will agree that the visitors were particularly polite and well behaved, it was a pleasure having them on site.

The Topper Association has already spoken to me about the possibility of us holding another major event in the future, hopefully this will come to fruition.

Thanks again

Dave Nicholson
