CLUB NEWSLETTERS

Download a copy of the Hollowshore Newsletter. These are published (probably) twice a year, and the latest round of them began in Spring 2006.

Note these are large files, so the download may take a while if you do not have broadband.

The newsletter will be downloaded in PDF format and will automatically open on your PC if you have Adobe Acrobat Reader installed. If you haven't, go here first to install it. It's a very useful (almost vital) piece of software to have these days anyway, and what's more, it's free.

LONDON BOAT SHOW: Jan 8th - 17th 2010
Once again we have been able to arrange a very special offer on tickets for the London Boat Show. This is for members and friends only, so the arrangements and details are not posted here, they are on the club notice board.

OFFICIAL OPENING OF THE NEW CLUBHOUSE November 8th 2008
The committee worked hard to organise the 'official' opening ceremony, at lunchtime last Saturday. Every member received a written invitation, and over 100 accepted. The place was heaving, and overflowed into the small marquee that was provided just outside the front door. Just as well - it rained!
Several of the ladies heroically prepared free food for all, and free bubbly flowed until it ran out.
Commodore David Williams began proceedings with a fine speech, praising all who had worked so hard to get the new clubhouse completed in record time, and then introduced one of our youngest members to do the actual 'declaring open' - Jack Daly, who sailed round Britain single-handed this year at the age of 16.
It was altogether a splendid occasion, with more jackets and ties visible than have ever been seen before at a Hollowshore event.....
A few pics....
