HAPPY NEW YEAR – 2026!

Following Storm Goretti, the decimation of trees has been the worst we have personally seen during the 17 years we have been down here.  Whole swathes were down all around the club with places like Trebah, Budock Vean Golf Course, Trewince Lane and Penwarne Lane being really badly hit. The effort of locals and teams from National Grid and BT have done amazing work but there is still so much more to do in clearing up and repairing the damage. The Village Hall once again came into its own allowing people without power for several days to charge phones and heat food. And the village WhatsApp chat was really useful. Thanks so much to all concerned. 
There was no damage to any of the boats in PNYC, including the larger boats on the beach.  Luckily our only incident was one section of the roof over the picnic benches being blown off.  The new extension is all good so thanks Johnny Vyvyan!  

However we very sadly leant of the death of James Southey who was killed by a tree falling onto his caravan during the storm. Over the years James did a number of the local gardens and was a charming, kind, quiet gentleman.  Our condolences and best wishes go to his family and friends.

    Mooring Fees

    ByJeff Meadows

    It is with pleasure that we can announce that the mooring fees will not be going up next year. But – and here’s the inevitable sting-in-the-tail – to give you plenty of warning, we will be reviewing them for the 2019/2020 as they won’t have changed for over 5 years by then.

  • BAD DISCOVERY

    ByJeff Meadows

    I was re-setting some of the trot moorings yesterday and noticed, for the first time in my time here, clumps of Pacific Oysters around the stream at low tide and on the south side of the bank. They don’t seem to like the soft mud but gravitate to the shingle and pebble riverbed. I have…

    JOHN FORD

    ByJeff Meadows

    As many of you may know, last year John Ford was diagnosed with motor neurone disease after a period of ill health.  Fran, Pie, Finn and Euan are raising money for charity.  Fran writes: My 57 year old brother was diagnosed in March last year with this cruel disease.  Since then he has lost weight,…

  • SPOT THE DELIBERATE MISTAKE

    ByJeff Meadows

    My brother-in-law Daniel won last week’s “spot-the-deliberate-newsletter-typo”. He pointed out that baby swans are “cygnets” not “signets”.  Well done Dan! Actually I must apologise for a combination of appalling spelling and, I swear, the occasional auto spell-check correction when I press the publish button. Once I managed to send out a series of emails from Port Navas Watch…
