Devon Freewheelers presented with cheque
The Commodore finally got to present the Devon Freewheelers with a cheque for £520 at last night's Charity BBQ. The RNLI were presented with their cheque at the AGM in December, but an administrative error meant that the Blood Bikers were not there to receive theirs. Don't forget tomorrow's charity sale 10am-1pm when even more money will be raised for these two great charities.

'Push The Boat Out' 2019 - Sat 25th May. Axe Yacht Club's Open Day.
As in previous years, we are looking for volunteers to welcome visitors to AYC on our Open Day. Could you help by giving a guided tour, making coffee/tea and serving cakes, or showing visitors your boat and enthusing about sailing or motor boating from the Axe? Hopefully the weather will allow some visitors to get afloat for a taster sail (cruisers & dinghies). If you can help in any way please email info@axeyachtclub.co.uk .
