As many of you will know the front door lock on the Coombe Cellars clubhouse has been problematic for a while. Well now, thanks to James Stevenson and Paul Heather a new code lock with pull handles (inside and out) has been fitted.

2026 Easter Dinghy Regatta Report
Easter Monday bright and early and a group of keen dinghy sailors descended on Coombe Cellars ready for a 100 minute pursuit race - a race that pits the slower boats against the faster ones by making the faster boats start later than the slower ones. In theory if all sailed to their optimum performance they would all cross the finish line at the same time. Race Officer Ray Potter ably assisted by Maggie

A soggy but successful Work Party
Fourteen hardy members turned up at Coombe Cellars for the work party despite the appalling weather. There was a hesitant start as the rain was monitored closely from the warmth of the clubhouse. Eventually a start was made. Team A cleared the upper boat park alongside the ditch.

If you know when these photos were taken then please let us know on the TCYC
