As we enter a new year I just hope the weather is kinder to us than it was in 1991.
I must be one of a very few people in the country who groan out load when the weather turns out to be fine and dry - but it just doesn
t help the water level.
I suppose we should be grateful that the dreaded blue green algae stayed away. The Water Authority treated the lake all summer and whatever they used did the trick! Their support for us is much appreciated by all I
m sure. However, let
s hope we won
t need to call on their services again this summer!
Sailors from the Club gained excellent results at all levels of sailing in 1991. We really do have talent in depth at Marlin! Let
s hope we
ll do just as well in 1992!
Well I had better sign off now, and leave some space for the Editor to fit in his
other
articles.
Happy sailing.
The creche now operates on Sundays and has the use of the building near the sandpit. Everyone with small children are welcome. Ring

Facilities
Last year was a year of consolidation, ie, the maintenance, repair and improvement of existing assets, rather then spending on major new capital items.
Hopefully we will be able to rectify this in the not too distant future!
The club already has permission for limited camping and overnight use of camper vans in connection with sailing activities and has now submitted a planning application for limited acceptance of trailer caravans. This is in line with facilities being offered by comparable clubs elsewhere in the country and reflects the steady increase in the use of leisure facilities.
Events
It has been decided this year to provide club events on the four bank holidays of spring and summer.
Easter Weekend
we are planning a team event, with the aim to develop some enthusiasm for team racing within the club.
May Day
a two hour pursuit race has been organised, which we are hoping will attract many entries.
Spring Bank Holiday
will be used primarily to promote the club and a substantial number of visitors are expected to attend throughout the day.
August Bank Holiday
will take the form of a family day and various events will be organised afloat and ashore.
