Cruising Pages


“Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things that you didn't do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbour. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover.”

Mark Twain

Winter Lectures

All Cruising lectures are on Wednesdays, begin promptly at 1830 followed by supper in the club and are usually sold out well in advance! If you intend to come, please sign up as soon as the notice appears on the main Club Noticeboard, about 3 weeks in advance.

If you want supper, in addition to signing up for it, it is necessary to order it on the day and book a table. Orders submitted before the lecture will get their food first! If you would like to meet new people, rather than book a table, sit at the Club Table in the River Room, it is intended for precisely this purpose.
