Broom Owners Club

34 club members made it to the CA building at Limehouse on Saturday evening to hear David and Val Evernden's presentation about thier voyage to the Med in 2005 aboard 'Lace' their Broom 10/70.

Not only did they detail the voyage and the preparation of the boat but also highlighted all the other considerations that have to be taken into account when leaving your home in the UK for an extended period, and living on your boat in a foreign country. 

 There are currently over thirty club members booked for the Saturday evening and fourteen

for the following day's Sunday Roast.

The Saturday evening will start with David and Val Evernden detailing their voyage from Calais to the Med aboard their Broom 10/70.

This will be followed by a Buffet Dinner.

For Sunday a table has been booked at the 'Captain Kidd' in Wapping.

Space is still available for both of these events full details of which can be found on the SE Region events page.

At just after 8.00 am this morning I recieved a phone call from Gordon Wise who was to be our host for the planned visit this afternoon, due to heavy snowfall overnight in the Dover area it had taken him 45 minutes to get to work from Kingsdown normally an easy 5 minute drive away so the visit was cancelled. All those booked for the event have been informed and the table for 18 at the 'George and Dragon' has been cancelled. Looks like I will have to arrange a further visit for 2010. Wishing you all a Merry Christmas and a happy New Year.

Due to the popularity of the first visit I have managed to arrange another visit to Dover Coastguard Station on 19th December at 4.00pm followed by a meal at the 'George and Dragon' in Fordwich.
