DQSC SUMMER CRUISE  4th – 21st July 2019

‘BEYOND THE BILL’

This year, the general consensus is that we head to the west country.

This cruise will see us spending up to 18 days away, enough time to visit the English Riviera, the hidden creeks and the historic ports of Devon and Cornwall, and if conditions are very good, possibly the Isles of Scilly. For those who have not been on the summer cruise before, it is a relaxed affair with no hard and fast rules other than to work as best we can with the wind and tide. Crews who cannot get away for the full cruise are welcome to joins us for part of it.

Firmer details will be issued closer to the time when we have an idea of the weather conditions. If you have any general questions about the club summer cruise, please call Barrie (or Sue) Pearson.

If you wish to join this rally please register your interest here.

Victoria Day 2019 at Dell Quay Sailing Club

12 Victoria Model Yacht racers spent Victoria Day taking part in 7 races, 4 to count, held at DQSC.

The day was blessed with pleasant sunshine and the racing was keen.

Results:

• 1st - Simon Bell.
• 2nd - Linda Bell.
• 3rd - Dick Hoare.
• 4th - Chris Sprules
• The Commodore Sue, who is luckily, never far from her work a day Tiara :) awarded the prizes.

The races were followed by afternoon tea and cakes for the racers and spectators.

Founding members of the group Rob Nunn, Victoria class Captain and Chris Sprules cut the Birthday cake 

followed by Ukulele playing and singing.

The Victoria Yacht enthusiasts meet weekly and are extremely successful in terms of their regular attendees and the prolific number of races.

They are always pleased to see a spectator and more than welcoming to prospective new members to their jovial group.

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.

If you attended the evening in November please This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it
