Start the season as you mean to go on….

Posted: Tuesday, 24 March, 2009

The first Wanderer Open Meeting of the season was at Crawley Mariners YC last Sunday, 15th March. Three Whitstable boats travelled over, Mark Fagg crewed by Ian Hender, Chris Partington with Donna Hender and Gavin Barr with Mark Skipper. There was a total of 9 boats. The weather was very light and shifty, giving a completely new meaning to the phrase "fickle winds"! Gavin and Mark had to struggle hard, but managed an overall win. A great start to the season - long may it continue!!

Message from the Whitstable Week Committee

Posted: Wednesday, 04 March, 2009

Hi everyone, the Whitstable Week Committee are looking for people to assist in the kitchen during Whitstable Week. We are aiming at simple good hearty fare to make it as good value as possible and Fiona and Donna are looking for Volunteers in 2 areas. The Kitchen: it is running all week and we need volunteers to help out. This can be as much or as little as you want, and could be the preparation of or serving the food - for a few hours to one week. Calling all cake makers. We are looking for home made cakes for the sailors coming off the water. This is the chance to show off recipes that have been in the family for years. Obviously all cakes must be quality controlled by the office first!!! If you think you can help with either of the above then please contact Fiona : clarkehouse94@btinternet.com or Donna: Donna: donna.legs@btinternet.com. You can also contact Mel in the office who will pass on the details. Many thanks. Whitstable Week Committee
