Pat can be contacted on 296072.

The Secretary to the Council of Neighbourhood Watches on the Island is:

Mr John Pullen

It is hoped to post local crime statistics on the page, as and when John Pullen provides the information.

GURNARD SAILING CLUB

Gurnard Sailing ClubGurnard Sailing Club is located on the shores of Gurnard Bay, a mile or so west of Cowes. The club is solely run by its members with no paid staff, and consequently the membership fees are low and offer great value - although you will be expected to help!

The location is superb with the prevailing south-westerly winds providing windward starts and reaching legs to the mainland shore. The racing area is set either within Gurnard Bay for the smaller dinghies, or the exciting waters of the western Solent for fast reaching and Olympic courses. The tides are strong and provide challenging conditions, which make first-class sailors.

GURNARD WOMEN'S INSTITUTE

WI HallThe Gurnard Branch of the WI was 71 years old in September 2007, and is still going strong with a membership of 35 very "happy-at-heart" ladies. The Branch was founded in 1936 by Mrs R. Westbrooke, and the hall was built by Mr R. Westbrooke on land he donated 2 years later.

Regular activities include the monthly branch meeting on the 2nd Thursday (except August), and social meetings such as scrabble (temporaily suspended Summer 2007), whist drives on Tuesdays, Solent Singers on Fridays and a slimming group run by a former President.

The Branch involves itself with fundraising and charitable activities, and regularly benefits from both outside and internal speakers talking on a range of subjects.

The hall was leased to Gurnard Parish Council for 99 years from 1st September 2007, and a specially appointed mangement committee took over the day-to-day running of the hall, hopefully continuing to enable local people to enjoy the facilities as Mr Westbrook envisaged all those years ago.
