Unfortunately in the current circumstances the Club had decided that it has no choice but to cancel the 150 Club Talk and Fish & Chips event planned for Thursday, 21st May - which was going to be by Barry Groves – ‘Joe’ Carstairs – the fastest woman on water and Queen of Whale Cay.
We would hope to re-schedule this talk to later in the year when the present crisis had died down.

However I thought I would just share with you all our current plans regarding resuming the talks/fish & Chip Supper's once the restrictions end.

The Talks/Fish & Chip Suppers in June has not yet been cancelled - although we think it highly likely that it will be - we will confirm by E Mail nearer the date.

The June Talk is scheduled to be -

Thursday 25th June – Stuart Bennett – Chile to Bolivia – over land trip up into the high Andes.

We have re-scheduled the talks from July, in the hope that they will go ahead as follows - we will confirm by E Mail nearer the date.
