Hello Byron
I think the meetings you refer to are for the Reading Offshore Club where I am also a member and yes the meets are still held there on the 1st Monday of each winter month.

See the two websites for 'Reading Offshore Club' and 'Henley Offshore Group'.
The Henley club meet at the Badgemore golf club just to the West of Henley by a couple of miles.

They are both non profit non commercial clubs, where proceeds are fed back into keeping the basics of the clubs going and beyond that, funds are chanelled into charities such as Ellen Mcarther trust, RNLI etc..

Both Clubs welcome guests on the night for a small fee only.

see the clubs websites for all the info or PM me for more..

Thoroughly enjoyed the 2000 miles in a yacht through the French canals. Can't make Monday (Wasps A are playing at Henley Monday evening & they need my support) but looking forward to to T Cunliffe one.

After last weekend their first team need a bit more than support in the forwards methinks.
 
Tom Cunliffe

Monday 8th Guests £5 on the door......all welcome.

Tom Cunliffe, Highly respected Sailor, Trainer, and author of 25 books including two 'Best Book of the Sea' award winners, was educated at a North of England grammar school and the University of Liverpool where he read law before deciding to run away to sea.
He has served before the mast in small sailing ships, skippered yachts for private owners, raced offshore, been to sea as mate on a coasting merchant vessel and taught sailing, seamanship and navigation at every level.
He is an RYA/MCA Yachtmaster Instructor Examiner and has worked as a consultant for the governing body of sailing in the United States.
In his own yachts he has cruised with family and friends to destinations as diverse as Brazil, Iceland, the Caribbean and Communist Russia. Specialising in vintage and classic craft, he has become a world authority on gaff rig.
When not at sea in his 22-ton gaff cutter, he lives with his wife in the New Forest .
Other hobbies, he rides a large motorcycle and cultivates roses.... not at the same time!

Tom will be fresh from filming a maritime heritage series which he is presenting on BBC4 TV later in the year: 'The Boats that Built Britain'. The Beeb is talking transmitting around May, so this will be a privileged preview - You'll hear it first at HOG!

come and join us.... no advance booking required.

IS THAT NECESSARY :confused:
 
Monday 8th March

TC was on great form last month, hope you enjoyed it if you were there.

This Monday we have another terrific speaker, Steven Prince.

Steven is a Naval Historian and is to get to the bottom of the Falklands War and bring us up to date with the situation there.
Then after a timely bar stop, he will give us some insight into Piracy through the ages.

Both very topical?

All very welcome, hope to see you there,
