Club Calendar

Please book yourself in using this order form and let Brian or Anne know you are coming.

 Our 2018 Summer Shindig will be taking place at the boathouse in Mytchett.  Come on down from 1200 for a BBQ and then enjoy some fun and games in boats after lunch.  The BBQ cost is £5 per family – if planning on attending, please contact James Freemantle so that he knows how many people are coming.

We will be having a boat based litter pick on the Canal to celebrate World Rivers Day. 12 noon to 2pm. All welcome to join in the fun. Litter pickers provided.

Our Annual General Meeting will be at our usual venue of Frimley Baptist Church. Due to a scheduling conflict, we have had to move the date to Friday 16th November (a week earlier than previously announced).

The evening will contain the usual mix of club updates and resolutions to vote on, before culminating in our highly-coveted awards presentation.

If you’re unable to attend, please can you let Matt Tichbon know.

Bookings are now being taken for this year’s club Christmas meal – full menu here.

Two courses £14.80 / Three courses £18.80

Arrival from 7 PM for a 7:30 PM start.  Contact Liz to reserve your place today.

Saturday 13 April, 7pm until 10pm – Quiz and Chips!  At the Canal Centre, Mytchett.  This will test your general knowledge, that of the Canal, and maybe some questions on the club.  £5 per person, to cover your fish and chips and soft drinks. Book online at Eventbrite.  Feel free to bring your own drinks.

Saturday 27th April, 10am onwards – Barn Spring Clean.  All hands welcome, even if you can only spare half an hour.  The Barn has suffered over the last year while we have concentrated on the new cabin.  It’s desperately in need of a spruce up.  We’d also like to clear as much space on the right hand side of the barn so that we can install some cushion matting and a bit of a gym.  Strategically planned for after the usual hare and hounds.  Contact:  Bill Hansell

Saturday 27 April, 10am – B3C Elimination Race.  We’ve all seen the cyclists do it, where the final racer at the end of each lap is eliminated!  The B3C race will have a shorter course for GP/Tourer and a longer course for racers, but all on the water at the same time in the same event.  This event is free, with tea and toast in the clubhouse after. More details to follow. Again book online at Eventbrite.  Contact:  Pina Napolitano

Saturday 20 July, from 10:45am – B3C Summer Shindig!  This 40^th Anniversary Shindig will hopefully be the biggest yet!  Taking place after the Hare and Hounds (do come down and give it a go), this will be a celebration of the club over its 40 years. BBQ and on/off water games as usual, and hopefully an opportunity to get all our club boats on the water at once!  If you’d like to volunteer to help with this event, please let me know.  We are very much hoping to have many of our founder members attending, so put this date in your diary now!
