Christmas Celebrations
The popular WSC Christmas supper this year was celebrated on Saturday 6 December with a full house enjoying an evening meal in the Clubhouse and then moving into the Longshed to dance the night away. The refurbishments to the Longshed have been completed and the new bar was open for the first time. The galley had a busy weekend with a dinner for Coastwatch on Friday and the usual crowded restaurant after the winter series sailing on Sunday.
Not to be outdone, the older 'coffee club' members had their Christmas lunch on Friday 12 December. 37 members enjoyed a traditional meal with all the usual trimmings. Lyn Atkins was thanked by everyone for organising the meal and glasses were raised to 'President' Tom Deary who is in hospital for a short visit and missed the lunch. His deputy Len Staff gave one of many speeches.
Celebrations continue with the Commodore's Christmas Pimm's Party on Saturday 13 December when the photo for next year's Handbook is chosen, and this year a special vote to name the newly purchased committee boat. All members are welcomed.
