Thought you might like to see this. I asked Anne Curnow Care, who is secretary to the CPGA and also kindly coxed our Mens A crew in Scilly for a quote for the papers, and this is what she sent me. Read and be proud, all those of Lyme!

Back in the distance past when I volunteered to cox for them, if they needed a little 'Scilly experience', I had little idea about what the weekend had in store.The first race on the Saturday is always an awesome experience and even after 18 Championships the whole spectacle never diminishes. After a warning to get back, we did, but wondered whether a disqualification deed would be done, but luckily not.The crew didn't feel their happiest on the Saturday, but following the award of a trophy - a toilet seat, found on the beach, the whole atmosphere lifted and Sunday was to be special.the championship works by racing all gigs off together in the first race and then they are seeded. in each race the top two go up and the bottom two go down. On the Sunday Rebel was on form, winning in the morning the crew rose to the next heat and then in the afternoon, in a close fought battle with Lyonnesse (currently on loan to St Agnes on the Isles of Scilly) they won - winning Group F.Joy all round, one of the most infectious things about a win is that it is not only shared with the crew that complete the task (all 7 of them) but also the rest of the Club. Lyme were certainly going to party on that on the Sunday night, many suffering on the Monday morning.A Club that has the boats at its heart truly realised why Scillies is such a great experience over the weekend and are no doubt beginning to count down to next year, well I know that one of them is.On a personal note, the first Scillies for any club is special and to be able to spend time with a club at this stage is very precious and as secretary of the CPGA dealing with 55 clubs on a regular basis it was an honour to be part of this special time for Lyme and certainly one that I will not forget and I hope, well I know that they won't either. Next year boys, you know where I am, if you need me!cheersAnne Curnow Care
