Cruiser Rally - Yarmouth IOW

Wednesday 8th May 2019

The third organised cruise of the DQSC 2019 season will be to Yarmouth IOW.  

With six hours of west-going spring tide at Chichester Bar from 12:30 and hopefully benign weather conditions, a late afternoon arrival at Yarmouth is a reasonable prospect.
 
Provisional marina berthing for participating DQSC yachts has been arranged and with a recent change in policy by Yarmouth Harbour, an advance payment is no longer necessary.

Darts and Games versus Emsworth Slipper SC

You may not be aware that we have a friendly and competitive Darts competition with Emsworth Slipper SC every year on Good Friday.   Over the past few years dominoes has crept onto the programme which take place while you are not on the oche.

This is a long standing event with a great tradition, all club members are welcome.  Dont worry if you haven't played darts since last years event or even longer, its all about supporting the club, making up a team and having a good night. But if you can throw a half reasonable dart or 3 please come along.

We play 301 straight in double out, so that should indicate the abilities or lack of them that are required to get involved.

Not that we are competitive in any way, but we do have a practice night on April 12th at 19:00 when the bar will be open and nice meal on offer of Shepards Pie and Chocolate Fudge Cake, and guess what there is no charge.

The big match is on April 19th at 19:00 with another splendid meal Chicken Curry and Eton Mess and again no charge.

Cruiser Supper

2nd March 2019

We originally planned this event last November, but on the day Billy Taylor the speaker had to rush off to deal with a family emergency when his son was taken ill.

We are very pleased that we have been able to secure Billy for another attempt on Saturday March 2nd.

The event is being held to support the charity for Young Onset Parkinson's Disease, with guest speaker Billy, one of the rowers taking part in the Indian Ocean Challenge.

The Challenge

In June 2018, four British men rowed their way into the record books by becoming the fastest four-man crew to row the Indian Ocean, while also conducting a research project that has the potential to redefine Parkinson's disease and raise £200,000 for their chosen charities.

Their Motivation

To raise awareness and funds for Young Onset Parkinson's Disease. The crew want to improve and build the support network for those diagnosed with Parkinson's at a young age, while

promoting the benefits of exercise and healthy living as a way of improving the symptoms associated with Parkinson's.

The evening meal will be a chicken curry provided by Roy Dyton who also prepared the last feast.
