Morecambe Bay provided near ideal conditions of sunshine and a strong breeze which suited newcomers, old hands and members of the club’s youth section.

The Turkey Chase is so called as there is always a draw for a Christmas turkey with all involved, Tyrone Lewis, the winner this year.

Officer of the day was David Edwards and the safety boats were helmed by Keith Byers and Dave Imeson.
