BAGPIPES AND TUNNOCKS TEA CAKES

There's no show without Punch, as they say. So today, Sunday, Iain was playing the pipes for the Challenger Flottila of the Dingy Section of the Clyde Cruising Club. Duncan's Yacht Chandlers have been sponsors for 10 years and this was an anniversary celebration today.



The Challengers are are made up of specially adapted multi-hull sailing boats for disabled people. Ian Taggart has been the driving force behind this group who are based at Bardowie Loch. There are many buddies and Club members who give their time voluntarily to help these people get out on the water, and indeed, participate in national racing events.

So after a sail-past everybody repaired back to the Clubhouse for the prize-giving and tea and sandwiches.

Over many years Boyd Tunnock of Tunnock's biscuits has supported sailing and this group in particular. No event would be complete without the ubiquitous Tunnocks Tea Cake!
