As we find ourselves near the end of our sailing season, we are still hoping to end with a couple of bay sails, weather permitting.

We are still in Newlyn at the moment, and we’ve had a couple of unexpected costs as you may have seen from Marks latest update.

A total of £3000 has been spent in excess of our planned maintenance which was taken from our contingency fund. That’s the bad news, however the good news is that from the funds raised this year by the sale of art works and our 50/50 draw we have successfully raised the funds to pay for our new boat cover which will keep HR in better condition throughout the winter and in the long term reduce our maintenance outlay.

Over the coming year we will of course need to not only cover our normal running costs but also replace the contingency funds used, so your committee will be putting fund raising plans together over the winter season.

But before this there are still opportunities to support the association by entering the 50/50 draw, purchasing art works, and supporting our winter talks.

The first talk will be on 16th November at Penzance sailing club from Marine discovery talking about the wildlife of mounts bay and their work conserving it. Entry will but £3 1900hrs for 19.30 start, hope to see you there.

Look out for updates on sailing opportunities on WhatsApp and email in the near future.

All the best
