Upcoming events schedule

Dear Member

I have the honour of being elected Commodore of HRSC, so a little profile of my connection to the Helford River and HRSC.

I was born just outside of St Keverne, about a quarter of a mile from Coverack Bay. At 18 months old the family moved to Withan Farm which ran down to Frenchman’s Creek. We spent a few years at Treveador Farm again bordering Frenchman’s Creek and the Helford River, a short time at Trewothack Farm overlooking Falmouth Bay, back to Withan Farm where I lived until I moved to my own farm which overlooks Carn Creek, so all of my life has been within a short distance of the water.

Dear Members,
 
It’s that time of year where Falmouth Sailing Week is nearly upon on us. As a Club we are always very proud to host the Falmouth Week Regatta Tea on the first day. It has always been a great occasion on our social calendar, with wrap around entertainment and evening food being planned as usual. Members old and new, please join in on Sunday 6th August from 3pm.
 
As is usual, we’d like to rally the troops to help bring our famous HRSC tea for the sailors together. Please could we have a raise of hands for your generous platter donations? Sandwiches, sausage rolls, quiches, tartlets, cakes, brownies and any picnic-style delights are most welcome.
 
Please let our Captain of Social, Diana Best, know on [email protected] or 07557342805 what you will be delivering to us on the day so we can make sure we have a diverse spread for all tastes. If you are able to volunteer on the day to help with plating up and clearing away please also talk to Diana.
 
Food donations can be dropped off as usual from 11am on Sunday 6th August at the Club and someone will be here to gladly receive them.
 
Many, many thanks in advance, your generosity really makes the wheels go round on this fabulous event.
 
Best wishes,
 
Vanessa Glossop
Vice Commodore’s Wife and Captain of Juniors.

Last weekend’s cruise in company to Fowey was most enjoyable despite the lack of wind on Friday and Saturday.
 
Friday’s gentle float in the sunshine was very pleasant and we all had a very good afternoon and evening in Fowey, all looking lovely in the evening light.
 
Many thanks to those of you who joined us and commiserations to those who had to cancel at the last minute for various social and work obligations. We will certainly repeat the venture later in the summer.
 
I will be away cruising in Brittany for the rest of this month but if anyone wishes to organise a cruise in my absence that would be great.
 
Let’s hope for good sailing weather in the weeks to come.
