and side shows, the Fete on Sat- urday June 30th commencing at 12.30pm will include a display of model boats from the Gipping


valley Model Boat Club, Coco- nut Shy and Bouncy Castle . a delicious BBQ will be


available from 12.30 and of course there will be beer, tea, coffee, squash, icecream and cakes available all afternoon. Don’t forget to purchase your

Woodbridge Cruising Club


TERRY Corner, safety officer of RNLi, pulled no punches when he addressed a gathering of club members with a timely reminder of the precautions we should take when going to sea. We’ve been sailing a long time and think we’ve got all eventualities covered but a bit of revision is always worthwhile and those present certainly appreciated a recap. Terry explained the dif- ference between a buoyancy aid and a lifejacket and the circum- stances in which each was appropriate. He stressed the need not just to own a lifejacket, but to wear it although not too tight otherwise if it inflates you’ll look like a Michelin man and not be able to breathe. One of the talking points was the merit [or demerit] of the new LED flares as opposed to the tra- ditional pyrotechnic ones. There are pros and cons but cost and longevity were the prime con- cerns and the difficulty of dis- posing of pyrotechnic flares [although the former Coast- guard Station at Walton-on-the- Naze will still take them by arrangement]. However, if your flares are kept in a wardrobe there is little chance of either disposal or revival. The RNLi is available to inspect your boat and make recommendations as to what improvements might be of benefit. Terry emphasised that it is not a test, there is no pass or fail and best of all its free. Club Commodore, Freeman Lynn, thanked Terry for a most informative talk which was greatly appreciated by the club members. Then the winter programme


was over and it was time for sail- ing to start with the traditional model boat challenge against Woodbridge Model Boat Club. unlike previous years the event took place on a warm sunny day with a gentle southerly breeze to blow the boats down the pond. and there were lots of them – all the same basic design but with personalised embellishments


and colour schemes although scrutineers were on hand to ensure that no ‘illegal’ modifica- tions had been made to gain improved performance. There was no jockeying for


position on the start line but once pushed off from the bank the boats were on their own and sub- ject to the vagaries of the wind. Some set off at great pace, built up a good lead, then turned right round and headed back to shore, others steered straight into the side or barged into anything that got in the way and some got such a huge ‘send-off’ push that they almost sank and came to a halt. Passion ran high, rigs were tweaked between heats and tac- ticians were appointed to advise on wind conditions and sail adjustment but in the end chance played a big part. However, tell- ing that to Jean White who won the event for the Cruising Club, she’s unlikely to acknowledge that it played any part at all. it was the first time in several years that the Cruising Club have won and ironically Jean’s boat was borrowed from a Model Boat Club member! The racing was followed by


lunch in the WCC clubhouse on the River Walk and Jean was presented with her prize by Cruise Captain Mark Rich- ardson. Further details of the club’s


activities can be found at www. woodbridgecruisingclub.org


THE younger players from Woodbridge Rugby Club’s Youth Section,the Minis, and their parents were out in force in glorious sunshine at the end of april at the Rugby Club. Their older Club members, the Youth Squads, were competing at the ipswich Road to Rio 7s Festival where theu16s won their group and theu15s won the plate. as is traditional, this last Sun-


day of the season was a fun- filled morning of Young War- riors and parents together run- ning relay races with challenges along the way, tug-of-war com- petitions and touch rugby games. Before retiring for the summer recess, all age groups celebrated player, coach and parent contributions during an awards ceremony - rewarding the achievements of the boy and girl players. Cups and medals were awarded for individual and team achievements. Junior Chairman alex Brig-


ginshaw paid tribute to the hard- working coaches and supportive parents, he said “We are now a big operation with so many boys and girls out each week and that only works smoothly and safely

with huge commitment from all in our community helping out.” The Woodbridge Junior War-


riors played a strong part in pro- pelling the Club to one of its best seasons on record. The Colts were in three finals, winning the last, the Eastern Counties Cup, in an exciting match against W Norfolk. This underpinned strong


league positions for the men and women’s 1Xvs, finishing sev- enth and third respectively. The 2Xv Saxons also won the Greene King iPa Eastern Coun- ties Div 3 and the Club’s Wheel- chair Warriors improved league performances at wheelchair rugby, South league.
