On Sunday 3 July at 13:30 Mike Hendra will give a short post lunch presentation on the Rules of the River as part of the AQSC skills development program. Like the road the river has a 'Highway Code' that is often not well understood. These rules apply to all river users so they are very important in the operation of the Patrol Boats and sailing boats when they meet other river users. The Racing Rules of Sailing replace the 'Highway Code' only between sailing boats racing.
On Wednesday 22 June there is our traditional Mid Summer Cruise to The Weir Hotel. The
plan is to sail or motor up through Sunbury Lock for a meal, returning around dusk to AQSC for a night cap. Members can travel by any means including canoes, row boats, dinghies, power boats or cars; boats leave at 6:00pm. Naturally the most fun is the mix of craft on the river and both our patrol boats, Aquarius and Tern will be going. To book a place in them use the form in the bar or contact Richard Cannon (01932 786636). Note: Anyone planning to come by road should be aware that the Weir Hotel stops taking food orders at 9:00pm.
