The winter social season is a busy as ever, with a variety of activities for all.

The regular Thursday walks see member and dogs enjoying a pleasant stroll around the Suffolk countryside, with a welcome meal at a local pub. Walks have included a stroll around Dennington, where 14 members and three dogs enjoyed a great country walk around rural Suffolk, and a stroll around Sizewell, along the beach and across common and heath and back to the pub for lunch. Future walks include Shottisham and beyond.

The monthly Sunday talks are informative, the first talk of the New Year was Commodore Rob Dorey, the Trinity House Director of Operations, who gave a fascinating talk on Trinity House and new technologies in aids to navigations, which was of particular interest to those planning summer cruises. Future talks include National Coastwatch, a voluntary organisation which assists in the protection and preservation of life at sea and along the UK coastline.

Wednesday suppers are always popular, and a new social event, a Beetle drive, is looked forward to, as is the wine tasting evening.

The cruising club is looking forward to the winter social programme, so why not consider joining. This website has full details and new members are welcome, whether you currently own a motorboat or yacht, (or are a past owner), or have an interested in all things nautical.
