The Wallasea Project
Tuesday 26th January 2010
The Wallasea Project, a development of Wallasea Island by the combined efforts of the RSPB and the Crossrail Project, continues. The Liaison Committee attended a meeting in South Woodham Ferrers on 26th January, designed to keep the various interested parties up to date with the latest developments.

Battle of the Classes
Sunday 17th January 2010
The Battle of the Classes was held at the London Boat Show on the 17th January in the dock outside the ExCel. The event is a pursuit race involving as many dinghy classes as possible. This year the variety of boats ranged from a Mirror dinghy to a Thames A Rater whose rig is so tall that it only just made it under the bridge that spans the dock. There were 51 entries in all from 41 different classes.
Racing on the Crouch in 2010
8th January 2010
Given the current weather it is fortunate that for most of us that the boats are safely stowed ashore out of harm's way. However, the new season will quickly be upon us and thought is already being given to some changes for 2010. Before Christmas the JCC organised a very useful meeting attended by each of the clubs in Burnham. The main purpose was to look ahead and try to anticipate what the Wallasea project means for racing on the river, and to start to consider how problems and difficulties can be dealt with and overcome.
