Penmaenmawr Sailing Club opened its’ doors to the public at their Annual “Pen Sailing WaterFest” on Saturday the 10th of July. Members of the club hosted the day which was officially opened by Penmaenmawr Mayor and Mayoress of Penmaenmawr Cllr Harry Jones and his wife Alwena Jones who fired the Opening Cannon to get the day started. The annual event sets out to encourage non-sailors and fun seekers to experience supervised, safe sailing, and fun on the sea, and also to help to raise funds for the club which is totally run by members who are all volunteers.
Sailors and non-sailors braved the windy conditions to enjoy skimming over the waves on the banana boat rides, as well as experiencing Kayaking, Pico and Dart catamaran sailing and Speed Boat rides and windsurfing. On land, visitors enjoyed various raffles, Tombolas and Bottle Stalls as well as refreshments and face painting.

Hi All
Big Bank Holiday Weekend
Not a bad week-end at all, some hairy sailing Sunday & the Marie Louise Trophy contested for Monday. The overall winners Calvin Kopec & Craig Petch. A very good well supported function on the Sunday night, Sue with her culinary skills did us proud with the cheese onion & garlick dip starter followed by a chicken casserole & gateux & cheesecake to finish, also included pimms & bacardi cocktails. Well done Sue, assisted by Dee, Dave, Craig, Ieuan, I believe one or two got home in time to hear the dawn chorus.
Cheers Bernard
