Topic : 150th Gorey regatta, Jersey

Big Thank you to all the Bowen-Perkins family for organising an amazing weekend of sailing and fun.  Sailing was perfect on saturday, sunshine force 4 gusting 5 John and Graham 1st, Richard and Liz/Phil 2nd, Hywel jnr and Gareth 3rd. Sunday the racing was canned for the dinghies because of strong winds, but most didn't seemed to motivated after saturday sights pary! Also Big congrats again to Rach and Hywel who got engaged!
Report will come soon. All those that didn't come you missed out.

Thanks Richard, and all who came over. Glad you enjoyed it and hope you got back OK and are now recovering! It was great to see so many old friends. Sorry about the weather on Sunday but at least Saturday more than made up for it.
Best of luck for Salcombe

Yes, great weekend and huge thanks to Rhys and Louise for your organisation and hospitality!  Everyone made us really welcome and we thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. 

For those who weren't there, you definitely missed out - Gorey Regatta street party with jazz playing, eating scallops and tiger prawns on skewers swilled down with champagne, sitting in beautiful sunshine on the pier after sailing....... What more could you want?

Jude, GGGG and Jeremy
