2012 Social Dates
The 2012 spring social programme is all but over. Things for the autumn are taking shape so keep a watch on the social calendar page.
Do you have any ideas for future events? Do you want to run one? Perhaps a shantie night or maybe that Antiques Afloat idea........
In the past we have had many great guest speakers, Tom Cunliffe and Jim Saltonstall being the headliners. Do you have any suggestions?
Now we are in Europe
You may wish to have some Schengen forms on board so that you are prepared. They can be found for Holland and Belgium from the top menu bar under "racing" and "documents".
You will also find some translations of the Euro letter stating that we in the UK can have red diesel in our tanks. Well worth printing off!
