inviting clubs and others to join in with the Southampton Maritime Festival.This busy weekend starts with the departure of the QM2 on her Ancestry Cruise. On Saturday there will be lots of events in the city
with Tall Ships and All Sorts as part of the festival.The Parade of Sail departs at 1100 on Sunday Morning. Participants can just join The Parade of Sail or join the flotilla
to Plymouth in legs toYarmouth, Portland, Dartmouth and Plymouth from 16th to 25th August. Return trips are open to individual plans which may include a return stop in Dartmouth for their annual Regatta.
Racers and Cruisers will come together for a race/rally to Gins for the end of summer party on 26th September in support of the RNLI. Bembridge Boules and Kites weekend is 05 September, so as always sign up early to avoid disappointment. Details for Newtown Creek will be advised later in the season.
The Laying Up Supper, 31st October, is
a Halloween Luncheon at Gins - costumes not needed, but on the other hand this will offer boats a chance to stay on the pontoon and others time to return home to greet the
trick or treaters.
Don’t miss out by booking well in
advance with Maggie on 023 8022 3352, and keep in touch with GroupMe.
We are going to need help, especially
with Mayflower 400 Parade of Sail so please contact Laurie Bates on 023 8084 7852 to offer your assistance. Hosts are also always needed for the Cruising events, so please lend a hand to ensure Cruising continues to provide what members want a Club to offer. Laurie Bates
