***YOUR HELP NEEDED PLEASE***

For the club’s 70th anniversary we are collecting a photographic history. I have some great stuff from the 1960s (including the Little Americas Cup) and from 2010 onwards but I am keen to find more for the 70s, 80s, 90s and 00s.

I will be trawling through my parents photo albums and the the club website but it would be great if you could send me any brilliant photos you have of the club over the years. I’m keen to include lots of people (as well as boats!) and the clubhouse, slipway, bosun’s hut etc.

If you could email scanned pics to [email protected] by 4th May I would be most grateful. If you only have the orginals then please put them in an envelope with your name on and leave them at the bar, we will copy and return them.

Please don’t be disappointed if your memories are not included if you don’t send anything in!
