Funeral Reception - July 2024

Thank you and your staff for an excellent event.  There were numerous compliments on the venue, food and the staff.  Please pass on my thanks.

I endorse these comments.  It was the finale to a successful event which I had agonised over.  There’s no chance for a practice run so I needed to rely on professionals like you and your staff to meet expectations.  And you did!  Thank you.

Charity Day - May 2024

Just a short email to thank you all for your help with our Kids Out on the Water event last Friday especially including an article in your newsletter which was sent to all members a few weeks ago.  This did produce three motor boat owners who took part for the first time plus the return of *** who had helped in the past.

Also for the use of the Sloop room as a space for the Safety Briefing and as a collection point for the children and thanks to Michelle for coming in early on the Friday to open up and be ready for the delivery of the lunch packs.

Finally a big thank to Tom for overseeing all the arrangements for the day and serving our meal in the evening.

Lunch - May 2024

Thank you and all your Team at CYC for all their hard work yesterday, ensuring our lunch was such a success.

I did ‘illegally’ pop my head round the door to thank those staff that were still in the kitchen, and say “Thank You” to the Bar Staff still on duty. But I by no means saw everyone, including James.

All the Members enjoyed their delicious meals, found the venue most accommodating and all the staff most helpful and efficient. It all made for a most enjoyable end to our May Meet of Sussex Wanderers.

WSCC Meeting - March 2017

Chichester Yacht Club was the absolute perfect location for our workshops, the hospitality we received at the Club was excellent. The Upper Deck served as a fantastic, light, airy room overlooking the harbour and is very conductive for this type of event.

Nothing was to much trouble for the team and I would not hesitate to recommend this as a venue for workshops and conferences. It is extremely competitively priced in comparison with venues in the area.
