Joker won!!!!

Published 11:02 on 4 Feb 2026

The Management Committee are delighted to announce that the Joker has finally been won by a club member who has very generously donated a substantial portion of their winnings to the club, to fund essential safety boat repairs, and to support our cadets. We are immensely grateful for this!  

We realise that the pressure created by the popularity of this event has led to a sometimes unwelcome atmosphere in the club on a Sunday and we will be restricting any future such activities to members only. We thank you all for your patience and understanding and in particular we appreciate and thank Bobbi and the staff for their unending, and tireless, hard work to serve the crowds in difficult conditions. Well done!

The event has, overall, made a good contribution to takings at a time of the year when they are otherwise seasonally low. So, you can be reassured that running the Joker was worth it even though it became a victim of it's own success!

Thank you all.
