September 26th – the date of the annual away sail at Lyme Regis SC for the Banbury Chaser and also the Dorset Triangle between us, Lyme & Castle Cove. Start time is 11:00 so arrive early to enable you to sail out to the start time. While you can park in the Monmouth Beach car park this is expensive for the day so if you park at the top car park and walk down it s only £2 for the day. Its ok on the way down, but the way back….maybe someone will give you a lift, or stop half way up to admire the view.
Congratulations to club members in their RS Aero national championships
Andrew Frost – the 2021 Aero 5 National Champion
Chris Jones – the 2021 Aero 7 Masters Champion.
LET’S CELEBRATE 50 YEARS OF SAILING AT SUTTON BINGHAM!
To mark this half-centenary event and as an opportunity to catch up on friends and developments at the Club, I would like to invite you to an
Informal social at the reservoir on Saturday 4 September, from 4.00 to 7.00pm.
It was scheduled for last year but, like so many plans during the pandemic, it had to be postponed. A varied and very tasty buffet will be provided – and it’s free of charge! I gather we are expecting a heat wave around that time, in which case we will be outside in the sunshine. I do hope you will be able to accept. It would be helpful for catering purposes if you could let me know in advance if you do intend to be there on commodore@suttonbinghamsc.net.
