Around twenty members met at the Yacht Haven slipway to celebrate the New Year as we have been doing since the club was formed. Both skiffs were launched in a breezy NW wind and after wards all enjoyed mulled wine, coffee, sausages, mince pies, cake and biscuits.

Our club carried out a fund raising day at Morissons in Troon by bag packing for their customers at the check outs. We raised a total of £950.79 and wish to thank Amy and her staff at Troon allowing us to make this wonderful amount and the generosity of all the shoppers who contributed. Also thanks to all the club members who gave up their time to assist.

The club annual Xmas dinner was held in Scotts restaurant with members and family attending.A enjoyable evening and a raffle held raised £130 towards club funds.

The club has been awarded two separate charitable awards amounting to £2000.This will cover the cost of the Wemyss skiff currently being built and a cover and launching trolley.
