“Britain and the Sea” by Sam Llewellyn, editor of The Marine Quarterly
A talk, by no means entirely serious and illuminated by cases based on my personal maritime experience, of why we have forgotten we are an island people and what we can do to remind ourselves and others that this is the case. Topics covered include (among many others) windward sailing, spinnaker repair, sea cookery, boxticking, mysteries of the deep, and why there are monsters in the corners of medieval charts.
The 2019 Annual General Meeting of Bromsgrove Boaters Ltd will be held at Bromsgrove Rugby Club, Finstall Road, Bromsgrove on Wednesday 20th November.
The Agenda will be published in due course.
As usual, the AGM will be followed by the Cheese and Wine Party.
Our speaker for the September meeting on Wednesday 18th September is Tony Martin.
Many members will know Tony as a previous cruising secretary and club commodore. He is now the proud owner of a Halberg Rassey called ‘Tam Lin’ (see image) which he picked up brand new earlier this year. Tony has grand plans to take his boat far and wide and he will talking about planning a “major passage” – whatever that may be and key decision making points, where/why/how – trying to encompass everything from boat selection to catering on board!
