Tribute

It is with great sadness that we report the death of long standing club member Molly Rowley.
In recent years Molly had taken a lesser role but for many years she had been at the core of the clubs social activities having been a regular behind the bar at major events and regattas as well as being our very own angel of the beer pump on many Friday nights. Being on her own for quite a while she found that running the bar was a great way of getting out with her friends and she made many more of them of all ages and from all over the country chatting over the days sailing in the bar and on the beach.

She has sailed in a variety of cruisers over the years from the catamaran Tiki moored for many years in the harbour, to a variety of Westerlies and was a regular and enthusiastic crew for many of our cruiser owners. For a while in their retirement she and husband Charles were regular fixtures in the dinghy scene, racing the club Graduate and giving others much younger a run for their money. Way before that, they were the proud owners of a championship winning Osprey The Fast Lady which was laid up for many years at home until Molly finally sold her on to one of our regular visitors and was always delighted when she returned to sail in Coppet Week.

She will be sadly missed by both our members and our many visitors particularly the many regulars at Coppet Week with whom she had become great friends.

Wine and Beer Tasting With Power!

Bring your friends and family to a Wine and Beer Tasting with a difference on Saturday February 11th at 8pm
Depending on what you choose as your favourites, the wines and beers you taste on the evening could be soon on sale behind the bar at the Club. So come along and have your say and enjoy a great evening out at the same time.
There will be a selection of wines and bottled drinks to taste. You score each of your tasters out of 10 to choose the overall winners. Runners up may also appear as ‘guest’ drinks from time to time throughout the year. It’s a hard job but someone has to do it!
To boost flagging energy levels (and help soak up the alcohol) we’ll provide you with a ploughman’s platter including a selection of cheeses.
For the dieters among us there are approx. 150 calories in 5 tasters. No idea how many points or calories is in a ploughman’s though, so maybe just plan to have a good walk on the Sunday to compensate?
Cost is just £5 per person and includes 5 taster drinks, ploughman’s platter and entry to a prize draw. Fruit juice will be available for those who prefer to have an occasional non-alcoholic taster.

It is renewal time again, please send forms and cheques to Jackie Riby. If you need a form then click here

ABOUT THE CLUB AND AREA

Saundersfoot is a small seaside holiday village in West Wales with picturesque scenery, an excellent beach and ample parking. The sailing waters within Saundersfoot Bay attract many sailors and regattas are always well supported.

Catering facilities within the village are good; cafes, inns and shops are all within a few yards of the central car park. Residential accommodation is available in hotels and guest houses.

Saundersfoot Sailing Club's dinghy park is small and unfortunately, has no space available for visiting boats. However, boats can usually be left safely on the beach.

ON THE WATER

Although the club encourages all forms of watersport it is mainly dinghy sailing and cruiser sailing that forms the major part of our on the water activity.

The club has a full dinghy sailing programme with the season running from April to October each year.

To encourage new members to the sport of dinghy sailing the club has an active sail training scheme which is run in accordance with the Royal Yachting Association who are the governing body of the sport in the UK.

Cruiser sailing activity is based more on cruising than racing although regular races are held with our neighbouring club Tenby Sailing Club and we also hold a cruiser regatta.
