.....at Shepperton Lock yesterday as Weybridge Mariners held a fundraising effort to raise cash towards the new clubhouse project. For those who dont know, the original clubhouse was burnt down in a major fire in February.
The area around the lock was transformed into a mini fete with stalls, jumble etc and in the evening a BBQ for the boaters from Weybridge and other locals (quite a few boats from my own crowd at Chertsey)- dunno how many turned up but getting on for 200 I should think and at one point we were getting seriously worried if we were going to get fed ! Anyway, they did well and everyone seemed to enjoy themselves. The weather even stayed fine!
