As the terrific summer of 2026, please come and celebrate with us at our end of season meal. Following the most excellent meal last winter at Christchurch Sailing Club, we are delighted to return to this very welcoming venue for our AGM. The formalities will be brief and will be followed by a short talk on The Solent Gaffers' summer cruise. After our meal, we will be treated to a performance of the CSC Shanty Group. The bar will be open till 11.00pm for those staying locally. 

You are most welcome to attend the AGM only, if you do not wish to join us for the meal.

If you have any photos you would like to share for a slide show at the AGM, please pass them to Richard Jacobs via the Solent Gaffers WhatsApp group.
