On Monday 3 January at 4pm the annual end of year Cadet Prize Giving will take place at BSC.
Adding to this fantastic event is Scottish Dancing which is being hosted by Tris and Becs Mayhew starting at approximately 5pm.
All ages are welcome and no previous experience required! Please pop this date in your diary if you haven't already.
Trophy Returns Reminder!
If you have any outstanding trophies please ensure they are returned to the office (polished and engraved) as soon as possible. Thankyou.
BSC Mens Lunch
The BSC Men's Lunch held on the 17th December was a huge success.
It was great to see the terrace buzzing with good conversation!
The event included mulled wine from Merrick, several fire pits and delicious food provided by our wonderful caterer Helen Clegg.
Fancy being handy in the New Year?
Valiant is in need of some TLC and we're looking for volunteers to lend a hand. You don't have to be a rower to take part.
The main task is sanding and painting / varnishing. There are some woodwork projects: t-hole pins, floorboards and hopefully a solution to the rudder - if you're a carpenter do get in touch.
It will be a great opportunity to meet other members, get involved in a mini community project and get to know our new Bosun Rob who will be around to help.
If you can lend an any amount of time during the period please get in touch with Laura.

Large wooden spoons whipped to broom handles, and bin lids are useful for flicking and making safe the Nurdle (as pictured).
Dress: Anything goes.
BSC Burns Night Supper 29th January from 7pm!

Please do come to the practices to brush up your dancing skills before Burns Night. They are in the club on 5th and 19th January.

Thank You So Much!
As 2021 draws to a close, we'd like to thank everyone who has volunteered this year - many of you have gone above and beyond.
