The Prizegiving for the 2023 Racing Season took place on Saturday 25th November following the club’s Annual General Meeting.
Over 130 races were completed across the Cat and Dinghy Fleets over the season – including the Spring, Summer Morning, Summer Afternoon, Autumn Points, Bank Holiday and Wednesday Night Series. Plus the “one-off” races including the Figure of Eight, Mona’s Cup, Pilot’s Cup, Rum, Tub & Bung, Last Fling and Helm of the Year.
In addition to the silverware, winners were awarded beautiful coasters with charts of the river as prizes to keep. Prizegiving was compered by Nigel James, Rear Commodore of Sailing with thanks to Dave Clarke for producing the coasters and special thanks to Sally Wilson for managing the complex process of gathering in and engraving all the trophies.
After the prizegiving, an informal lunch was held at Bradwell Marina Bar to reminisce about the season, discuss winter racing for those hardy souls who are still sailing and look ahead to next year.
Plans are well underway for another busy sailing schedule in 2024 – so watch this space!
