There was a fairly awesome Cherub Open at Filey in the mid-90's. The sailing was excellent with a massive sandy beach to launch off, proper open water racecourse out in the bay and well-run racing by the exceptionally friendly club. But the Saturday night socials were truly epic. The clubhouse had fallen off the cliff into the sea the year before, so they were using a small marquee as a temporary replacement, with a gigantic bonfire out the front to try and keep everyone warm. Beer was not in short supply. How nobody burned to death by the end of the night I'll never know.
