Waiting for the Tide
Well, prepared for sparse content between Christmas and New Year I posed a question last week. This week, to make the most of the question, I’ll provide the long answer.
Back when the club was based adjacent to the Eastern Road bridge we lived under the constant threat of losing our lease, which was always short due to plans to widen the Eastern Road. Well, although we did finally move to our current location the road is still the same width, so I guess we could have stayed put; aside from the fact that we would likely still be on notice of imminent move, I for one don’t miss the ‘fun’ of trying to cross all the lanes to head north (or head south and sort out turning round, which wasn’t as easy when the airport was opposite – although the windsock was handy!). During that time we kept patching up the old clubhouse not wanting to spend too much money on it in case we had to abandon it. The half that was originally the workshop became incorporated into the bar area to make it larger (you have to get the priorities of a sailing club right after all) and the portacabin toilets at the back were, well, perhaps best forgotten – but a vast improvement over the brick.. shed by the east slip. Anyway, at some point, and I don’t remember exactly when (I was quite young after all), we acquired a new bar; one solid enough to be worth salvaging and transporting to our current location. In its previous life it was a bank counter, if memory serves in the Havant branch of TSB, and we managed to salvage it when the branch was refurbished. Bank counters were very different back then! So there you go, a nugget of useless information this week!
As ever, feel free to drop me an email at this address, it is always nice to hear from members. Any ideas of things to include in the Tidal Diamonds would be most welcome.
Let’s be careful out there.
… and here’s to a Happy New Year (and a good sailing season)
