The View from the Editor's Chair
The ‘Not the Needles Relief’ event confirmed why we sail. A glorious day, warm(ish) sunny, good steady wind, super company, what is not to like. Even Neptune capitulated with the sea behaving itself.
We have a report from a well-known Gourmet Diner who gave the Gala Dinner 9.9/10. I have my tickets – do you! I recommend you phone up Gillian quickly before the remaining places are taken for this coming Friday and/or Saturday.
The Art Exhibition is still available for viewing, and Jose is still waiting for your votes and opinions. Some nice pieces there, some for sale, many even good value.
Sad to hear that Mosimann’s are unable to justify opening on Monday and Tuesday but, they are running a business and in these dark times WE cannot afford for them to lose money. We will just have to support them on the other five days of the week.
It is coming up to Christmas and in the Editor household there are many jobs for the Editor to do that do not involve Newsletters. (I doubt if I am alone in that one). Consequently, the last Newsletter of 2020 (The Covid Year) will be next week – the 21st December. So if you wish to get a Christmas message out to Members, well that’s a lot of Christmas cards to write. The first of the New Year’s will be published on the 11th January.
Be aware that this coming Wednesday, our Government will announce the results of their deliberations on how to deal with the current Covid crisis. This may affect the opening hours of the Club, and what we have to do to keep y’all safe and the staff secure. I am sure we will be told – look out for an important email.
Every week I hope you enjoy the Newsletter. Last week I received one whole email suggesting that while the “Buttons” were lovely, they were a bit small. Having been deluged with this opinion, we are trying an improved version. Please let me know how it is perceived.
