Actually I thought that'd be a more suitable venue for next year's Pirates Weekend

It sounds like a good opportunity to check out the new clubhouse, it looks great. Will I be allowed to fly a pirate flag though

Give them a second chance? Fantastic facility built and paid for by members, maybe it has new catering management?

Maybe if it were a dress as a pirate do ? :encouragement:
Afraid after reading about what some members are like, the Shipwreck or FC's suggestion seem somehow, more appealing and welcoming
Hoping to make it wherever it ends up now, but I don't own a blazer so would hate to be turned away at the door after a long drive

I've been on Facebook too long, I can't find the like button for some of these comments.
Thumbs up for RHYC as a dress-up-as-a-pirate event, classic, had me in stitches.
I like the W&FYC idea, not been and very curious to go there.

As it was only two of us at Pirate weekend this year I'd add my vote for a pirate themed laying down supper at RHYC.

Why not try the new Walton & Frinton Yacht Club clubhouse? We have two function rooms which can cater for 50 & 80 people seated with an attached bar that has views of the Backwaters.
Our catering arrangements are currently undergoing a revamp but we hope to be fully functional again in a week or two. We did have a few problems on start-up of our new facilities but these should now all be resolved.
If this is of interest please contact me and I will pass your details on to the Club Manager, or pop down and have a look for yourselves, I will be pleased to show you round. Even those who water-bombed me a couple of years ago. A certain Colvic if my memory serves!

If W&F does not work for some reason try RHYC.
1. They do have a new and very professional catering manager - I have not heard of any mis-understanding since he joined (there were lots in the past not just yours).
2. I mentioned the pirate flag to a flag officer this weekend and he laughed and said he was off to buy one to see who complained! I don't think a pirate flotilla will cause a problem.
3. Geoff enjoys the challenge of squeezing as many visitors in to the club marina as possible. He may look unhappy/stressed but underneath he is relishing getting all the boats in!

RHYC is available, no room hire, menu similar to Fox's last year for similar price, Pirate theme, not a problem.
25th October is good, so I will start a new thread when I have received confirmation from the Event Manager with menu proposals etc.
Just need to try and sort out a price/availabilityon marina visiting.
