The summer cruising season is nearly over, and the club is moving to onshore winter activities, although members are still sailing locally and abroad when they can. The Walton Pond cruise led by Mark and Clare was the penultimate cruise, and one of the most sociable, all enjoyed the cruise dinner, walks and entertainment. The final Three Rivers cruise will be led by Graham and Alison and is the end to the official sailing season. The annual cruise dinner will be held at the Royal Harwich Yacht Club to mark the finale of the cruising calendar. For all yacht and motorboat owners cruising in company is one of the best reasons to join the club.
Commodore John organised a day sail, for new members without boats, as a chance to experience the beautiful River Deben, and this was a welcome new initiative.
The August Bank Holiday picnic in the pleasant garden of the riverside club house, was one highlight of the summer, and members are looking forward to future events including the more formal laying up supper; a lovely occasion to meet with other club members and enjoy a delicious three course meal.
The autumn programme has been planned with Thursday walks, Wednesday suppers and Sunday talks, which have a nautical theme, all attracting members to the clubhouse.
The Wednesday maintenance parties start again in late September, when willing volunteers enjoy coffee and cake, and undertake essential jobs in the club house.
Other club events include the November AGM, under the auspicious of the Commodore John, when Officers will be elected, reports given and the opportunity for questions.
If you have a genuine interest in sailing and the sea, have a look at our programme of maritime related events on our programme of maritime related events on the calendar. New members are always welcome.
