Blessing of the Boats Sun 24 Mar at 1200

[Liz Walmsley]

Our Annual Blessing of the Boats will take place on Sunday 24 March at 1200 (not on Easter Sunday as in previous years).  It is a lovely traditional and social occasion for the Club and I would encourage as many of you as possible to come along and participate along with families and friends - and bring your singing voices and some cash for refreshments with you! Mike G will also be inviting other local clubs to bring some of their boats.  A few hands turning up early at 1130ish would be appreciated to ensure that the boat park and boats are  "squared away" and ready for visitors. (Cheryl and Ron - do you still have the name signs and who has the ribbons?)
Canon Tom Kennar will officiate and Ann Plater has kindly volunteered to run the refreshment stall again with help from Rachel.  Please could we have lots of volunteers to make and/or bring along cakes/biscuits etc. Any monies raised will contribute to the boat maintenance costs - and we will have lots of that going on this year.

Thanks Marylin.  I think in the past we have put ribbons on all the gates so 5x4 for the big boats, 2 x2 for the Teifis and 2x2 for mikes boats? I guess that is 28 to 30 all together.  Happy to come over and help if you would like?

Such a lovely occasion today - thanks so much to all who made it happen..and my little people pass on the biggest thanks for the amazing yummy cakes! 😋 Just about peeled them off the ceiling!! 😆

If any Cutters got a decent snap of my son Grayson blessing SWeare Deep with Rev Kennar and could share it that would be marvellous 😊 Ours were too blurry unfortunately.

Enjoy the rest of your weekends all! X

Hi Kay,
The email to that address keeps bouncing back? If you want to email me I’ll reply or let me have your mobile number and I could WhatsApp it to you.

I've never managed to get an email message to anyone doing it via nabble.  It always bounces back.
 But if I email from my Outlook , using their same email address, it's fine.  A nabble quirk???
