Thanks for making the launch fantastic!

We've had a real taste of spring weather here. Temperatures rose and lots of people were here at BSSC to kick off the Easter holidays. I must start by apologising for an error in last week's email. The volunteers who laid the buoys in the harbour were; Stephen Harvey, Chris Spink, Charlie Parfitt, Bruce Kemp and Magnus Medcalf.

Saturday heralded the start of the season with an early start and light winds. 7 boats made it out to the start and so qualified for their free bacon butty. The starts were suitably competitive and it was great to see young gun Magnus Medcalf squeeze Laser Master Ash Deakin out on the line. The Hawks also had tight racing the battle for 2nd and 3rd going on throughout.

All results are available to view on the website.

Many congratulations to team Medcalf who won the first pub quiz of the year. The clubhouse was full and a buffet supper fed the eager contestants. We all now know the name of the most common bat in England! Thanks to quiz master James Watson.

Congratulations also to everyone who passed their RYA 1st aid course with Charlie on Saturday and good luck to all our dinghy instructor candidates starting their course today.

I was thrilled with all the compliments for my bright red BSSC hoodie on Sunday. If you'd like to get your hands on our fabulous merchandise; hoodies, polo shirts, t-shirts, caps and beanies can be ordered from Birds of Dereham. There will also be a 2025 sailing week t-shirt coming in the summer.

Slightly less thrilling was the sight of a wide open front door 2 days in a row. If the shutter at the staircase is down, this means there are no staff in the building. Please ALWAYS close the front door behind you. The security of our clubhouse is everyone's responsibility.

On a much more fun note, we have started up a Strava Club! Please join the club and share your sailing activities - we love to see all those wonky red lines criss-crossing the harbour! Just use this link to find BSSC Strava!

It's happy hour time again!

This Good Friday we will be offering £6 off per bottle of M de Minuty rose from 1pm until 2pm.

To compliment the rose, why not order a delicious seafood or Italian cured meat platter to share with your friends?

We will be reintroducing the Thursday email with all the menus for the weekend. Please watch out for that arriving to your inbox this week.

We have already taken a lot of bookings for Easter weekend, so if you wish to dine at the clubhouse over the holiday, we recommend booking your table by email the_clubhouse@bssc.net to avoid disappointment.
