Thank God its friday !!

Thank God it’s Friday! The weekend is finally upon us, and there’s no better way to kick it off than by joining us at the club for an exciting evening of conversation.

This Friday, we’re thrilled to have a special talk by Murry Grimwood, one of our esteemed club members. Murry is not just a passionate sailor but also has a wealth of history and experiences to share from his many adventures on the water. His insights and stories promise to inspire and entertain, making it an evening you won’t want to miss.

After Murry’s talk, we will have dinner together, providing the perfect opportunity to further discuss his experiences and connect with fellow members.

We hope to see you there!
