The Year Ahead

Goodness, is it really six months since the last newsletter? Many apologies to everyone for the delay.

There is so much to talk about that I’m sure another newsletter will follow shortly. We are extremely excited about the year ahead; there is much to contemplate and lots of opportunities for members to come aboard and join the crew on voyages.


 

Members and guests at November’s annual dinner in the Estuary Club

The full year itinerary, as known, is shown below and please, if you are interested in taking part in any event, contact Mike King as soon as you can. They are varied; crossing the estuary and around the Kent coast to Ramsgate, across the Channel to Dunkirk, a sail off the pier to see the splendid Thames barges, a sail around the Essex coast and into the Crouch and finally a trip upriver through London to Hampton Court. Some are spread over a few days and you can either participate in the whole event or part.
