Nautical sayings in everyday use. "Chock a Block" If the rigging lines are pulled too tight, the blocks through which the ropes run bang together making proper control of sails difficult. So when things are too close together they’re Chock and Block. CYC / CCRC Golf Match We are sorry to announce that Bill Sandford, a long standing past member, has passed away and his funeral will be at the Leatherhead crematorium on Thursday 6th April at 13:15. Also that David Raggett, a Motor Member, passed away last month. Our annual golf match against the CCRC takes place as usual at Hill Barn Golf Club, Worthing, on Friday 7th April. This match is normally well supported by all sections of the club. This will be our 10th year of the match. Our matches are always very close and often go down to the last match to decide the winner, but it is always a good fun day.
