A sparkling October afternoon attracted 50 boats to take part in the end of season finale trophy race, the Dyer Cup.
The race team, led by Sheena Berney, had George Whitchurch providing a committee boat start just downriver from Clarks and they were undeterred by a spectacular formation of four USAF F15 fighter jets that flew low over them a few minutes before the start. The fleet set off in good time for a gentle reach down to the start line with a menagerie of cruisers and dinghies including pretty much every class sailing at the club.
Alongside the hugely successful cake sale in aid of Macmillan, the local branch of the RNLI had a stall selling Christmas cards, calendars and gift items and made £330. With sunshine, good racing, cake and shopping a good day was had by all.
The worthy prize winners were:
Dyer Cup

3 - Rob and Wendy Walker, Wanderer
