Fairlie Yacht Club - Crew Passage Race and Muster - Petanque Port Bannatyne

On Saturday 2 July, Fairlie Yacht Club raced "Round the Cans in the Clyde" and, for the first time, held a "Muster" at Port Bannatyne Marina. 
In the evening, Petanque club members Jim and Elaine set up the piste while the Rear Commodore, Paul Rae and his family erected the gazebo and set up drinks and nibbles.   The Fairlie sailors came ashore exchanging boats for boules and after Elaine gave a quick resume of the game, the competition began in earnest.  Teams of players had already signed up and "Beer Commodore" Paul, ran a keenly contested, fun-filled knock-out petanque competition.
The Port Bannatyne Petanque Club hope that Fairlie Yacht Club will muster again in the Port - a very sociable patnership - perhaps and annual event!
