The Shustoke Regatta
 The Shustoke Regatta will be held over
the weekend of
11th & 12th July.
Saturday is a fun day with games on
and off the water but includes the
'very serious indeed' Ladies Race.
Supper will be available on a 'pay as you eat' basis. Supplied by Turkeytalk/Adlington Ltd of Pheasant Oak Farm, the menu will include hand made beef/turkey burgers, chicken kebabs and fantastic quality large saugages in natural skins.
The bar is well stocked and can be appreciated to the full by those choosing to stay over. The floor will be open to the musical (and other) latent talents to be found in the club so make sure that you pack your guitar (or grand piano, come to that) into your sailing bag.
The 'Shustoke Campsite will be open for anyone that wishes to bring tents, caravans or to sleep under the stars. Just don't mention the marquee...
Sunday features the Mark Archer memorial race in the morning, followed by the Boniface Trophy which is a qualifying event for the club championship.

Sea Cadets District Regatta
Shustoke will be hosting the Sea Cadets District Regatta on Sunday 5th July.
There will still be normal club racing although the Solo fleet are requested to use the main (eastern) slipway as the Sea Cadets have been given use of the Solo slip and adjacent car park.
There will be a full galley available for this date.
It is proposed to hold a Level 1&2 course over
one week of evenings, Aug 3rd - 7th.
This is open to adults and juniors but requires 4 - 6 persons in each category to be viable. At time of writing there are 3 adults and 2 juniors.
Anyone interested should contact John Wilkin or Peter Williams promptly.
GP14 OPEN MEETING REPORT
Light winds at Shustoke for GP Open The wind came and went at Shustoke for their GP 14 Open, In fact, it did more wenting than coming and rarely reached a force 2.
Chris Biglin, the Race Officer, elected to run two back-to-back races before lunch. Each race saw the same three boats breaking away from the remaining fleet. Paul Leavers and Kevin Hopkins from Midland SC took each race from John Salmonson from South Staffs, crewed by David Lynch, Shustoke’s junior sailor of the year. Father and son, Darren and Ryan Padro, took third place.
Race week
was well supported please read report.
Thursday Evening Race
We are doing suppers after Thursday night racing in recognition of the fact that you have probably missed your tea to come sailing. Thankyou to all that have so far volunteered to help with this, and if anyone else is able to take on providing a simple supper for one or two dates it would be greatly appreciated.
Contact Ann Biglin.
The Shustoke Sharks
The Shustoke Sharks have made an excellent start to their Junior training programme.
Please see the 'Sharks' on the Main menu for more details if you wish to join in.
Chenoble Children
Saturday 15th August we will be hosting the annual sailing day for the
Children from Chenoble. General sailing will not be affected and there will be a full galley.
The Legend That Is BALA
Shustoke's annual trip to the Bala August Bank Holiday Regatta. (29th 30th and 31st).
First race isn't until lunchtime so travelling on Saturday morning is an option although most arrive Friday evening with a view to the pleasure of a Welsh Pub tea. We have changed campsites this year after sending Sherpa Padro out to scout for campfires AND luxurious bathing and will be based further down the road past the Sailing Club. Marquees are also allowed but quite frankly with our record...
The campsite is www.bwch-yn-unchaf.co.uk . They have waived the normal Bank Holiday premium and we will be paying their standard tarriff but you should note that you will be required to pay for 3 nights even if you arrive on Saturday. This is standard practice in the area due to the high Bank Holiday demand.
Menus for the pub will be published when available.
The Regatta is a handicap event open to any boat with a PY number therefore any Shustoke boat can be included. If anyone else would like to come please contact Ann Biglin immediately (0121 308 7632 or ann (at) biglin.co.uk)
