A Reflection of 2025
2025 Socials were once again kicked off by Robbie Burns Night. Haggis Neaps and Tatties enjoyed by all. With the address to the Haggis once again delivered by Jack Marsden in full uniform. This was followed by a game of “Play Your Cards right”.
To celebrate the start of the season at the end of March we had a Curry Night and a quiz. This set the tone for the seasons weather, where the wind was all too often a little bit spicy! Yes this year the wind seemed to be either a force 4+ or was a drifter!
Thankfully the weather was kind to us once again for the Open Day in June. The day was very successful and we managed to gain some new members to the club.
We held the annual BBQ a little earlier this year in July to try and keep it away from members holidays. I think this was very successful with the event being well attended and all had a good feed. This was followed the next day with a great cruise and picnic on the beach at Rhos on Sea.
As reported last year, Rich Jones qualified for the World Championships in the Flying Fifteens and, as a proud parent, I can report that after a successful event they finished in a very respectful second overall beating many professional sailors.
Following a very successful bid for a grant from Gwynt Y Mor Wind Farm Community Fund for a new new RIB, the club took receipt of much needed Humber safety RIB in September. Thanks very much to the efforts of Brian Moles in chasing and following up with the paperwork, with help from Aled Roberts, Grant Officer at CVSC.
The Dinner Dance and Presentation Evening was once again held successfully at the sailing club. Food and service was provided by 2 the Square from Conwy and was, as usual, to a high high standard. The presentation followed and Rob Davies showed us that experience came to the fore with him taking home a lions share of the prizes. At the other end of the scale Jack Jones won the Junior Club Champion at the age of 8 years. Must be following in his fathers footsteps.
At this years AGM we had a change of Commodore to Carl Jones with Peter Fisk taking the position of Rear Commodore. Rosie Hearne stood down from the committee and I would like to take this opportunity to thank her for all her hard work during her time in office at the club.
Family Christmas morning was the final fling for the social scene of 2025. Santa as usual managed a stop to greet all the good boys and girls at the club. Shellie’s boozy scones went down a treat along with the cheese toasties. A very pleasant start to the Christmas season and a chance for all to get together for a last social of the year.
Have a very good New Year.
Carl & Shellie
