EXPERIENCE THE MYSTIC DELIGHTS OF A VENETIAN MASKED BALL
AT THE WBC LAYING UP SUPPER – SATURDAY 29TH NOVEMBER 2008
The Laying Up Supper is the event that traditionally signals the
end of the general boating season of WBC. A black tie evening,
it is a chance for us to dress up and dance the night away. This
year it is being held once again at Castle Royle Golf Club, on
Saturday 29th November.
Our theme is Venetian Masks. Think theatrical, feathers, vibrant
colours and flamboyant decoration!
This event is always over-subscribed so to secure your place (or
table) please complete the enclosed form in Boating Banter and return to Jo
Kennedy-Cooke . An evening not to be
missed!
FUN ON THE RIVER - WHATEVER THE WEATHER!
Another busy boating season comes to a close as the club prepares to wind down general
boating for winter. This summer has been a little kinder than 2007 but we have still had to
contend with Red Boards and wet weather and would like to thank our members for
persevering and continuing to come down and enjoy all the club has to offer. Thankfully, the
rain stayed away for our Rag Regatta in July which was well attended and we hope you all had
a good day, whether competing or cheering on. Anyway, what does weather matter? If you
are punting in Canadian canoes you’re likely to get wet anyway!
Our training courses were, once again, well subscribed and we managed to complete these
with the minimum of disruption. We hope those of you who undertook courses felt them
worthwhile and have been able to put your new skills into practice. Other successful events
such as the Summer Party, Treasure Hunt and Family Fun Day, to name but a few, all serve to
remind us what a special place WBC takes within the community life of the village and we hope
you will continue to make the most of everything it offers in 2009, whatever the weather!
