The "Combined Clubs River Series" has now merged with the "Haven Series", to form the "Haven Combined Clubs Series". Originally, the CCRS was a Series of Races supported by Pin Mill SC - Royal Harwich YC - Shotley SC - Harwich and Dovercourt SC - Haven Ports YC and Stour SC for the "Evening Star” Trophy, but is now open to all yachts based between Lowestoft and Burnham. There are two fleets within the series - the "relaxed fleet" (the former laid back CCRS) and the "experienced fleet" (the former win at all costs Haven series). Competitors who have placed in the top 5 of races in the Haven Series or Combined Clubs Series would be expected to enter the experienced fleet

The essential element in the casual fleet is FUN. These races are offered to boat owners who have been put off by the hype and psychological pressure often seen to surround yacht racing and provides you with an opportunity to get the very best out of your boat.

Friday night Barbeques will start on the 13th May, ending on the 26th August. Bar opens at 17:30. A great way to wind down after a week of hard work, in beautiful relaxing surroundings.

This is a volunteer led event, and more voluteers are needed - Contact Di Chilver for more info This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it.

The club has two kayaks that are available for members to use.

At present, there is no charge for using the craft, but we do ask that you use the booking system on the website to book, as this only allows a single booking for a slot, so you will not be disappointed and find someone already out in it (or shouting from the bank "come in number 101 - your time is up!)

The PMSC Lucky Dip is a free draw using the Membership numbers of current paid up adult Members of the Club. The Draw takes place every Friday at 21:00, except in the summer months when there is the Friday BBQ, when it will be held 20:00. Entry is completely free and the prize will be a 'pot' of money accumulated at the rate of £10.00 per week, and, here's the cunning bit, the Prize will only be awarded if the winning Member is actually present in the Club at the time of the Draw! So, why not spice up your Friday nights – come and have a (very attractively priced) drink in convivial company, and give yourself the chance to win the Draw!

WANTED:

As we are now open every Sunday Lunchtime for Bacon Butties with side salad, we are looking for volunteers to cook and serve these lunches, until we find a paid person willing to do it.

The Lucky Dip draw restarted on the 10th September 2021, with a prize pot of £100.

Good luck! and don't forget that you have to be in the Club on a Friday night at 9pm in order to have a chance to win.
