Tony Everard (LHS) opens the training centre with John's dad in 2011. 


To celebrate yet another recession, the TIGER DINNER takes on a very casual guise this year with a great menu from the RSC club caterers. Simple FAIRE and at a 'FAIR' price of £10 for two courses. EVERARDS BREWERY are supplying their customary bottles of COMPLIMENTARY TIGER BITTER to everyone who comes and we have arranged for the BEN MORGAN BAND to entertain during the evening. Book in advance on this site.

LAST EVENT IN THE SAILJUICE GLOBAL WARM-UP SERIES 2012.

Three races will be sailed back to back on Saturday with the fleet divided into fast and slow handicap but all sailing the same course. This enables average lap times to be established over the whole fleet and an overall winner decided. The annual Tiger Trophy Pursuit race on Sunday is non-discardable and has for many years been the downfall of some exceptional sailors.
