A CRUISE ON THE ALISON MACGREGOR

After the club presented the Solent Dolphin a cheque for £1578.85 from the 2023 President’s charity, Steven was invited to take the committee for a free cruise.  This took place on Monday 17th June on one of the best summer evenings so far this year.  8 of the committee were joined by 4 club members and spent a pleasant 2 hours cruising from Hythe Marina to Cobden Bridge and then back down to Netley Abbey.   Some of us were able to take the wheel of the boat for a short time! 
This year’s charity is Waterside Gateway and they will be visiting us this Saturday, 22nd June for their annual visit.  Please come and help if you are free.
