Wraysbury Lake Sailing Club has traditionally held a series of three days of dinghy racing in aid of the RNLI. but last year, getting more ambitious, it staged a regatta during the whole of August Bank Holiday weekend. There were 60 competing craft. As well as the usual serious racing events there was a great deal of fun, including a treasure hunt race in boats or on boards. Hall Aggregates (Thames Valley) Ltd, the club's landlords, donated a beautifully handcarved wooden trophv for the serious dinghy races; it was won by Phil Jackson. Russell Evans won the Sai/board Trophv. A barbecue, a disco, a pig roast and a hoe down were all on the programme of a weekend which raised more than £300 for the lifeboats, and which was so much enjoyed that it is to become an annual event.
