What a fabulous way to end our Anniversary Year with a superb Dinner Dance at The Marsham Court Hotel. Over 100 members enjoyed their Christmas meal and partied to the amazing band Loose Chippings. 

We were reminded of the good wishes given by Lord Montagu, Sir Ben Ainslie and Geoff Holt MBE as we played their videos, followed by the film made of the Junior Week illustrating that the future of the Club is in safe hands. 

It was also the opportunity to thank the 150th and Open Day Committees for their contribution in making this year so special. 

The final word on our 150th Anniversary was left to his Majesty King Charles III as a letter from Buckingham Palace congratulating the Club on achieving this milestone was read before everyone hit the dancefloor.

Club Christmas Raffle 

This years Christmas Raffle was, again, a great success with just under 900 tickets sold. We were able to enjoy a great atmosphere in the clubroom yesterday as a wide variety of prizes were handed out with much mocking, barracking and banter. All of the proceeds from the raffle was spent on prizes with the exception of £250 which will be transferred to the Juniors Fund. 

2025 Archive Calendar

The CSC 2025 Archive Calendar is now on sale at the Bar.  It contains many interesting photographs from the Clubs past, kindly restored by Roger Allen, celebrating our 150th anniversary.    

The cost is a modest £6.00.  A great gift for family and friends. Do buy yours while stocks last.

Christmas Day Bar

The Christmas lunch time bar is a popular event between 12.00 and 2.00pm. 

Come along and relax for those couple of hours between opening the presents and sitting down at your lunch table. 

There is a possibility that our Commodore will be on bar duty that day so it will be good if we can get a full house to see him under pressure. 

The Harry Shivers Race on Boxing Day is a Club tradition

Thank You 

During the last 12 months the hospitality team have worked so well together to provide the service for  lunches, club functions, booked events, parties and celebrations of life. We all see the activity that takes place during such events, but we must also remember the work that happens behind the scenes such as planning, advertising, purchasing, room set-up, clearing up etc. Much of this work is undertaken by volunteers. Thank you to all our paid Hospitality staff and our willing volunteers.  

Of course, it is not just the Hospitality Team that benefits from the efforts of our Club Volunteers. Many other sections rely on volunteers to help make our club tick such as the Bosuns, Sailing, Moorings & Storage, House Maintenance, Sustainability, Health & Safety, Administration etc. Our Club could not function without our volunteers, and we say thank you to them all.
