Saturday November 3rd 2012, Laying-up Lunch and talk by Simon Fraser; in the Sail Loft Suite, Boating World, Landrake, Liskeard PL12 5EF.
As we have outlined we are trying a new event for our first gathering of this winter season, in a new location as well! Boating World is a yard some of you may know, now run by a friendly and efficient new team it is on the upper reaches of the River Lynher in an old quarry and has a certain charm of its own! The new conference/training facilities there were completed in the spring and are very comfortable and smart. We hope that CA SW members will enjoy getting together for a convivial meeting that is for us and our guests with plenty of opportunity to chat about the weather, recent cruising experiences and all things boating!
Simon Fraser, a popular and experienced speaker will talk about his recent cruising to, from and in the Baltic, an increasingly popular and very lovely area.
Lunch will be a hot buffet with desert and coffee, the Bar will be open over lunchtime.
After lunch we will have a brief Section ‘evolution discussion’ sharing ideas between us over tea and we will then be able to continue socialising, greeting old friends and making new ones.
