Dave is keen to have boats committing to Heybridge ( 22nd July) and Bradwell (23rd September) too.

Members of Wivenhoe and Rowhedge Cruising association are most welcome to join all ACBOC rallies. Just let Dave Hayes know. Let’s have a good turn out and a good few weekends. Road attendees are always welcome.

The Gooseberry Pie rally is an event we at ACBOC are also invited to Organised by Wivenhoe and Rowhedge Cruising Association. It will take place on 5th August and moorings are arranged at West Mersea where we are ferried ashore to the packing sheds for a DIY barbecue or picnic.

Highlights will be :
Colne Maritime    and Memories of the Essex Coast.
Films to start at 8.15pm

Hi to all ACBOC members,
The slip at the creek needs a good sweep / dig out of the mud. We try to do this every year so that the launching of canoes, paddle boards etc is less of a muddy experience. ( we even apply for a licence to do this)
Slip cleaning needs to start at 8.30 am as the tide turns about then.

8.30       Meet at the creek with stiff broom if you have one.
11.00    Coffee and donuts
11.30    Tackling a few of the jobs off the jobs list (attached)
1.00      Bacon and sausage butties

Anyone that wants to tackle a particular job, should let me know so that any costing can be covered.
PLEASE LET ME KNOW IF YOU CAN HELP OUT AS I NEED TO KNOW HOW MANY
SAUSAGES AND BACON RASHERS TO BUY.

Brenda
