On Saturday 22nd we will try to launch committee boat at 8am. If for any reason this has to be postponed we will try again on Sunday 23rd. Common sense, some muscle, and/or ability to drive the safety boat are useful qualities for the wetter activities. On the other hand, sometimes just the willingness to get wet is useful - they make me stand where they've dropped an anchor so they don't lose it. So all volunteers are welcome at all working parties! Julia Paul, Secretary, Hunstanton Sailing Club 18/03/08 - First social of the season ...
