As we wandered around the brocante at Laguepie this morning everyone had srtict instructions to find trophies of style for the Regatta. This year we have surpassed ourselves and even I feel like abandonning my on shore duties to try to win the major prize. Normally trophies are ''naff'', not this years I can assure you. Mix style with a touch of art deco, add a squirrel [ not sure why] and you have the 10th years Regatta trophy to sail for, the best yet. The new addition to sail for ''the old Nick trophy'' as a tribute to Nick Lyne's service as Deputy Commodore for 9 years, it is a bit on the tarnished side but may polish up. The childrens trophy sparkles and two of our younger lads have got their eye on winning it[ I have told them the competiton is fierce] and it is the taking part that is important.
A report from Fifi President Linda says
I have a magnificent naf FiFi cup donated by Ruve which she found in a
vide grenier for all of €2!.
So of course Fifi ladies will be racing for the Fifi challenge cup as well as all the other trophies.
The Regatta is Wed. 21st of August and we await a report from our Commodore with the Varenly Regatta rules
