Thanks to all who attended the AGM it is much appreciated by your Committee We are in desprate need of someone to take on the role of club sectuary, so if you have the skill and time please put your name forward for election at this years AGM.
 SPOT PRESS!! We are looking for help in gathering data on the seal colony in the mouth of the river. all you need to record is Date, numbers of seals, size (big= Adult or small= pup), state of tide and weather, and pictures if you can, if you have a zoom lens all the better as we can than ID indivdual seals. This data will go to the local nature reserve warden Tony Swandale. So each time you wonder down into the bay don't forget pencil & paper. But please rember that these are wild animals and keep our intrusion as low as possible and observe the rules on the river keeping speed and noise low. |

Commodore Gazen Salts, River Stour August 2008 Credit: Dunkirk Spirit AGM this year will be on Sunday 26th February 2012 A good turnout last year with 26 members signing in and several partners also attending the AGM. All the committee was present and the meeting proceeded with all reports given. Dates to note:- The high light of this years trip is still to be finalised but things look good for a long weekend around the 2nd weeks of June or August 8th to 14th that way the neap tides and long days could see a longer haul to ports farther afield. 1/ is Maidstone with a stop off in Rochester over night, port 2/ across the Thames to Canvey or if we feel very adventrous, 3/ Brightlingsea which may be a little too far for some of the smaller boats and would be a challenging navigating for the best of us. Each month from March we will be undertaking a seal watch to count and monitor the seals. and in mid April an over night sail in the bay to get the feel of a night at sea, (weather permitting). The end of May would be a good time to revisit Dover and set us up for the long weekend (they would have forgotten last years action) 29th September and the annual BBQ weekend at the Camp site work parties and social events TBA
