Events list for 2010
We have a programme of events throughout the year. This list is subject to change, and will be updated from time to time.
Notices are usually posted in the boat house for people to sign up for Rallys and other events. "Try a Boat" and "Boating Familiarisation" events are a more relaxed "drop in" format - just turn up and enjoy!
