The Christmas festivities kick off with the annual Fish and Chip Supper on Monday 9th at the Bushmead Hall followed by Pigs in Blankets and Mince Pies on Sunday 15th. at Wardown Lake. On the 22nd we have a Christmas Pudding Fun Day also at Wardown Lake and finally our Christmas Lunch at the Moat House on Friday 27th. at 12 noon. This will be preceded by a short sail commencing at 10am at the lake. I do hope to see you all at these events? While at Wardown Lake in November a passing visitor enquired as to the origins of the greetings? AHOY. Nobody seemed to know, the gentleman’s passing comment was that he thought the origins were Spanish. I decided to look the word up on the internet and this is the result (Wikipedia). Ahoy is a signal word used to call to a ship or boat, stemming from the Middle English cry, 'Hoy!’ The word had fallen into obsolescence before rising from obscurity as the sport of sailing increased in popularity.
