Itchenor Sailing Club Junior Fortnight in pictures

Race organisers and competitors had to endure varied weather conditions, from no wind to too much and biblical quantities of rain. But this certainly did not dampen their spirits. The committee laid on a massive outdoor social programme for all ages under a new tent. This included first and last night bops, a quiz, talent night, magic shows, junk modelling, slippery pole competitions, a games evening, an orienteering event around the village and parent evening racing. The “When the ship went down” themed parent party, sponsored by Salcombe Gin and ChalkStream Trout was hugely successful.

A highlight of the fortnight was welcoming Freddie Carr from Ineos Team UK for the day. He met competitors, watched them racing and shared his experiences in talks about the recent British America’s Cup Challenge in New Zealand. An initiative to reduce food waste raised £345 for local charity UK Harvest and a collection on Talent Night raised £406 for Ocean Youth Trust South.
