IOM Copiers Easter Regatta
Write up by Jerry Colman What a fantastic day at the MS&CC Easter Regatta! It’s traditionally scheduled for Easter Saturday (April 4th this year) and also traditionally delayed due to weather as occurred this year due to the appearance of Storm Dave.

Watling Streetworks Winter Series – 8 February 2026
Write up by Jerry Colman After the week’s Easterly gales and the high tension invoked by the first round of the 6 Nations it was good to see a little soothing sunshine through the mist over Injebreck on Sunday morning with a light southerly wind driving a few ripples up the lake. (Better than last…
