Thank-you to all who supported this event and in particular thanks to Liz Canning who donated the wide range of books presented as prizes.

Sponsors 2010 - Update

We have just received news that Stena Line have again provided the Club with 6 Travel Vouchers. Look out for the events throughout the season where you will have an opportunity to win these. Check out the Official Website for details of the services offered.

Sponsors 2009 - In addition to this list of sponsors, who supported many of our core events in the 2009 sailing calendar we have updated this poster to highlight our recognition of Stena Line who provided us with the means to enhance our fundraising activities. As stated in the Newsletter we had an amount of £5000 to aim for and we have almost hit this aggressive target with some other funds still to come in, one might be surprised.

Stena Line provided the Club with 6 tickets for a car and passengers and this was a massive hit with the membership and visitors who in particular visited Whitehead on the day of the Annual Regatta. This new Poster will be on display in the Club and distributed to the Membership via e-mail as a timely reminder of the generosity we have received from Stena Line and our other Sponsors.

Now that 2010 is upon us we again need to ensure sponsorship for all the various events is secured. We also need to aim to achieve £5000 in terms of fundraising so everyone needs to think of fresh and innovative ideas.
