OLD GAFFERS/TRADITIONAL BOATS DAY 2025
This years fun day for traditionally rigged boats is scheduled for Saturday July 12th, so by rights the weather should be more favourable. This is also a camping weekend for the sailing section. Similar format to last year with an evening meal of chicken or veg curry followed by crumble. A Ceilidh band will be playing jigs for you to work up an appetite or shake your dinner down.

Dear Member, We've made some important changes to improve boat & trailer identification in the park. Recent flooding and caravan park works highlighted a big issue - many boats and trailers had no identification , making it difficult to contact owners when necessary. NEW: Aluminium Foil ID Stickers We are replacing the old yellow tags with durable, discreet aluminium foil ID stickers (3cm x 7cm).
