Thank you Alice for the details of Nerys funeral and the Invite to attend . I will pass them on to other club members.
I know a couple has already said they would like to attend.
Regarding the eulogy at the lake side is a lovely idea. And has been put to our club where, I’m sure will be well attended.

Having seen Halstow on the Knap lake, in Barry South Wales, she sails well. Don’t know if you are aware, but the timber stack is a cleverly worked box, over the top of the deck, which she can sail as a covered tarpaulin hatch barge, so Nerys can sail her with or without the wood stack. Very clever,,, well done Nerys.

It is with a sad heart, that I have to say, SWMYC no longer exists. Closed last year due to increasing cost from our council to use the lake.
