July 11 - Fish Fry and race. Lots of members came out for the race and the fish fry. A reporter from the Beacon Herald was also there for the start of the race. Excerpt from Beacon Herald: Members of the Wildwood Sailing Club competed in the annual Rum Runner Race dressed as pirates on Saturday.  NICOLE SCHMIDT Staff Reporter Sails were up and swords were out as members of the Wildwood Sailing Club hopped aboard their boats this weekend to take part in the annual Rum Runner race. This year marked the ninth pirate-themed race, but for the first time costumes were incorporated into the competition. Despite the sun, sailors were dressed in tall boots, floppy hats, wigs and bandanas. The racecourse was set up around Wildwood Lake, where eight boats made their way to the starting line to complete the one-hour loop. Race committee chair Les Leonhardt said that with the wind conditions that day, there was only one thing competitors could do in preparation — pray. Rob Johnson and his son Wes were the winners of this year’s race, making it their fourth Rum Runner victory. Johnson has been sailing for nearly 40 years. Dave McDonald came in second place two minutes behind the Johnsons. In keeping with the theme of the event, winners were awarded a bottle of rum. Pirate Themed Fish Fry Once again Christina Dillow out did herself in organizing the Fish Fry Dinner, and thanks to Gerry for the fries. Was great to see so many members dressed up.

Club Breakfast 2014 On Sunday, May 18, a beautiful sunny day, 35 club members and guests enjoyed a delicious breakfast which traditionally marks the start of the sailing season. Bob and Rosemarie Schwalm prepared honey garlic sausage and western style scrambled eggs which were the stars of the breakfast. Pam Mulholland prepared toast, and juice, and members rounded off the buffet table with fresh fruit and various pastries. Gerry Cappleman provided coffee for a great finish to a great meal. Following the breakfast tables were removed from the pavilion in preparation for the spreading of stone dust on the pavilion floor. The flagpole was installed, and all is in readiness. Let the sailing season begin.  For more photos go to WSC Photobucket page here and Pam & Lorne's Photobucket page here. Spring Cleanup 2014 We had a great turnout despite the chilly weather. Pavilion was set up, tables cleaned, gutters dealt with. Grounds were expertly raked but due to the unseasonably cold weather there was no prep work done on the docks beforehand so they were only partially installed. The rain date May 4 will be used to finish the job. Club meeting followed. For more photos click here (WSC photobucket) and for even more click here (Pam & Lorne's site).
Club Supper and General Meeting 2014 For more photos see the WSC photobucket and Pam and Lorne's photobucket Rob and Margrit Johnson were hosts of the annual pork chop supper. The pork chops were delicious along with all the salads and desserts provided by members. Margrit is pictured with one of the napkins which she made for club members as part of the social committee's efforts to go green.   Commodore, Gerry Culliton, chaired the annual general meeting on Sunday, August 24. The next club event is the dock pull on Sunday, September 28.  This year's recipients of the Peter Case awards are Christina Dillow for the outstanding job she, husband Mike, and their crew did in preparing the fish fry, and Corinne Rosch for her excellent attention to the washroom facilities. Thanks also to Corinne for the beautiful wall hanging which she made as a door prize for the club supper. (see photo on photobucket link)   Thurman Reynolds announced that he is stepping down as Grounds chair. Many thanks to Thurman for a job well done. We are looking for a member to fill this position. Please help out if you can.  The grounds at the club have always been beautifully maintained, and it is going to be very difficult to find a replacement who takes such personal pride in a job well done. Ian and Helen are lifetime members of the WSC, and we hope to see them at the club frequently. We also wish them all the best as they take more time to enjoy their cottage in the Haliburtons.  A thank you is also extended to Pam Mulholland for contributing so much of the website content this year. September 26, 2014 - Pull outs Four boats were pulled out late afternoon. Guess how many didn't have trouble. More photos on photobucket, click here.
