Sail in Stunning Northumberland
KWSC Monthly Caption Competition
Caption Competition .............
Thank to Ruth Hawkin and Graham Thumwood for this idea and providing the first picture to start us off.
We are instigating a monthly caption competition (prize-free) to keep us all amused between sailing days. To save effort I will post the monthly picture on the web site but we will use the forum to capture our entries. Please do have a go and if you have a suitable picture for the competition next time then please do email it to Steve Gibbon - details in the year book. Thanks.
