On Sunday, 9th February, we will be holding a Boat Jumble sale on the Upper Deck and also on the Hythe. The sale will open at 10AM and finish at 3PM.

This is for Nautical Items Only, so if you have a garage or shed over-flowing with sailing gear you no longer need, or are in the process of renovating your beloved craft, this is your opportunity to clear some space, or find a deal (or both!).

Stallholders pay £10 per table (on upper deck, or on the Hythe); visitors pay nothing. There will be hot drinks and snacks from the galley, and the bar will be open as usual from midday.

To book a table, please reply to this email, or call the clubhouse on 01621 854 139.

🍷🧀 A Huge Thank You ! 🧀🍷
A message from Karen Sadler
"I am thrilled to share the fantastic news from our recent Wine & Cheese event! Thanks to your incredible generosity and enthusiastic participation, we raised an amazing £1484.15 for CRY (Cardiac Risk in the Young)!
From the delicious cheeses and fine wines to the fun of the raffle, it was a great night! Your support will truly help the charity to continue to support young people diagnosed with potentially life threatening cardiac conditions and further develop their heart screening programmes.
Thank you to everyone involved especially Nick Plank for supplying the cheese and everyone who joined us – we couldn't have done it without you!" ❤️

🌺 Remembrance Sunday on the River Crouch 🌺

Cruisers gathered on the river opposite the Burnham on Crouch war memorial to pay their respects for Remembrance Sunday. The town came together to observe the 2-minute silence, reflecting on the bravery and sacrifices made by our armed forces.

Following this the yachts made their way to the Burnham Sailing Club start line for the Peter Cashel Memorial Trophy. This trophy honours Peter Cashel, a former Commodore of Crouch Yacht Club, who received a citation for his bravery during the D-Day landings. Although the wind had threatened to be very light, but it held long enough for a great race.

👋Hello everyone!

I'm thrilled to introduce The Commodore's Better Halves Charity Fundraiser.

This year, we're supporting CRY - Cardiac Risk in the Young, a charity close to my heart that aims to improve screening and support for young people.

Join us at the BSC for a great wine tasting event hosted by Justin Waples. 🍷

Your ticket includes tastings of three white wines, three red wines, and a blind tasting, followed by a delicious cheese platter. 🧀
Justin will donate 10% of wine sales/order that night to CRY!

Bring some £1 coins for a fun game and extra cash for the raffle, and together we can raise awareness and funds for this important cause!

Looking forward to seeing you!
