Balcony
HUGE thank you to everyone who came down and helped last night!
We had everything going on – from Geoff Carnell with his digger helped by ‘the machine’ Ivan Espley, Will Rockcliffe and Mantas Luinys digging the footings for the balcony. John Fox, Andy Holland, Les Collinson, Lisa Collinson boarding out the new bar cellar. Gemma Philp, Candy Game, Sue Gumb and Dave Gumb doing the weeding / gardening. Lee Torrice stripping down the rib engine – and me with my weedy alien-arm serving drinks 
What an amazing little community we’ve got – thank you so much! 
If you’re down the club in the next few days please watch your step and be aware there are some big holes to be concreted-in shortly.
If you’d like to come and help – the next session starts saturday morning

Hunstanton RNLI
This morning I had the privilege of presenting free memberships to the crew of Hunstanton RNLI on behalf of the club.
A lot of fundraising goes on for the RNLI but it’s not often you get the chance to thank the amazing individuals who give up their time for free and put themselves at risk. On behalf of the local watersports community THANK YOU so much, each and every one of you

RNLI training and Push the Boat Out
Cracking day, last sunday at hunstantonsc.co.uk - did a ‘multi-sports training exercise’ in the morning with Hunstanton RNLI – with club members simulating being in need of rescue in 5 sports: sailing, windsurfing, kitesurfing, kayaking and SUP. Then ‘Push the Boat Out’ in the afternoon providing FREE sessions for the general public in sailing, SUP and kayaking. Huuuuuuge thanks to all the wonderful club members who volunteered to help whether it be admin, beach duties, or helming the sailing boats. Special thanks to Les at hunstantonkayaks.co.uk and Steve at hunstantonwatersports.com not only for helping – but also letting us use all their kayaks, SUP’s and wetsuits for free!
