Fourteen members gathered at the club last night for Tony Atkins to lead an informal discussion on the outline plans for next Summer’s club cruise to the West Country.  Together with a number of other members, who have expressed interest but were unable to attend last night, this group represents at least twelve boats which may take part in the cruise, or some part of it.  A lively discussion ranged over ports of call, choice of marinas or mooring facilities, number and location for lay days and proposals for organised evening meals.  Tony will now draw these threads together and make further contact with relevant ports, marinas and yacht clubs, to create firmer plans for presentation to members at a date to be agreed after New Year.  If there are any other members who have not previously spoken with Tony but are interested to join the cruise they should make contact Tony in the very near future.
