The Cruising Association has re-launched its petition to get the government to improve the way fishing gear is marked at sea. The previous petition was cancelled earlier in the year because of the general election.
If you agree that fishing gear should be better marked, click here to add your name. Note that if you signed it last time around you need to re-sign this new petition as the previous names were not carried forward.

As the river festival racing was cancelled this year, we organised an impromptu race on Quay Day.
6 Boats took part in the race: Firecrest, Calva, Wednesday’s Child, Anastasia, Free Will and Pinch of Thyme. The course was C1-C2 start line followed by Puffin to Port and back to C1-C2.
The first boat Firecrest set off at 13:25 and the last boat Pinch of Thyme set off at 13:37 with the task of catching Firecrest before 15:25 » Read more
We had a successful day with the Tombola stall on the Quay and made £86 which was not as much as last year, but it all adds to the pot!! It was good fun and worth the effort.
Quite a number of Club Members helped in various ways, from those donating Tombola prizes, to sticking the numbers to each prize, to the Commodore and a couple of “elves” erecting the Gazebo and moving the equipment to and from the Quay. A good team effort.
Three stalwarts of the day were the Vice Commodore, Carrie Thompson and Brenda Wilkes who managed the stall, all of the day with good humour.
Good day, good result and very worthwhile.
Many thanks to everyone who helped.
Alan Courtney, Commodore
