Very early this morning the ISC Bramble Cricket team lead by their Captain Tim Devlin (Vice Commodore) met on Bramble Bank and faced Royal Southern Yacht Club for the famously quirky cricket match. Believed to have started in the 1950s, this strange but fabulous tradition sees the Island Sailing Club pitched against the Royal Southern YC were both teams play against each other until play is stopped by waves.

Last Saturday the Upper Terrace and Marquee was buzzing with new Members and the Gin & Tonics were flowing! It was great to see so many of our lovely new Members enjoying the Club. If you are interested in joining the Island Sailing Club please contact Nicky on 01983 296621.

Very friendly sailing club, yet very professional, organiser of one of the greatest regattas in the world. And a bar with a beautiful view over the bay!

Went to a wake there with a friend who is a celiac. Sadly they were unable to offer anything gluten free which is unacceptable these days. All buffets should offer alternatives for people with allergies as a matter of course.

Cannot be described as luxurious and catering appeared to be overstretched on the night as our party had to wait between starter and first course while another large party having a buffet were served.

Had the best pizzas ever. Good cocktails. Beautiful waterside views. What a good idea to sell the local pizzas from over the road!

Neither the Island Sailing Club nor Captain Pizza advised people who had booked in advance to attend the outside/marquee, ‘Winter Gardens’. They had the opportunity to do so and chose not to. A poor decision, based on financial factors, that I know has already cost people.
