It is with sadness that we have learnt that Bobbie Middleton has passed away after brief illness.

Husband Miles is a past Commodore, they were long time members sailing together for many years, and they were always the life and soul of club events.

Our thoughts are with Miles and their children at this sad time.

There will be a celebratory service for Bobbie at St.Andrews church Corbridge on Wednesday 11th March at 1530 hours, followed by refreshments at Corbridge cricket club.

The cremation service will be family only

200mm plus rainfall forecast for Keswick, Saturday night through to Monday.

The 2009 and 2015 floods happened when rain exceeded met office forecast and Keswick got 300mm in 24 hours. Saturday morning’s forecast, of 200mm plus, on top of existing high lake and river levels means all boats at club should be shifted at least to the highest bit by flagpole.

The lack of wind brought the season to a close without any more racing.

Neil held his lead and won the Winter Series with Oscar/Rory 2nd, and James 3rd

Final results

As the season is at an end, please remove your boat from site within the next couple of weeks, otherwise the winter storage fee is payable. For those leaving their boat, please make sure it is well secured, possibly taking down its mast to minimise risk of storm damage.

Overcast and wet at times but, at last, a decent racing breeze.

The fleet consisted of Oscar & Rory in their Feva XL, Phil in a Ilca7, Neil in the Ilca6 and Saskia in the Opi. Neil led both races on the water but couldn’t escape the clutches of Oscar & Rory, who won both races on handicap.

One can only imagine the discussion over dinner in the Davenport house, somewhere along the lines of, “did you enjoy those swims Dad? Oh, and did we beat you on the water there?”

Apprentices become the masters?

Latest results

Too much wind, no rescue, or this week not enough wind to race!

Perhaps next week, as there’s not many racing days left

With no paid rescue available there was insufficient cover so racing was cancelled this week. Please ensure you arrange alternative cover if you’re unable to undertake your allocated duty.
