Treasure Hunt - stations

This is what you'll be looking for.

The stations will not be hidden and will not be difficult to get to. They will be close to the water's edge but you may need to get out of your boat. The orange clip is attached to the peg. Use this to record that you have visited this location.

Treasure Hunt - The trophies



These are the fabulous trophies we have on offer! Real gold (plastic), custom engraved (but not for us) on a genuine marble (might actually be true!) base. Purchased at great expense (in a charity shop). We gave them away last year but somehow they ended up back in the club hut. Maybe they didn't fit in with the winner's home decor. 

Could they grace your mantlepiece? (And need dusting for the next year.) Please, I'm fed up of looking at them!! :¬)

The link to the 2018/19  Online Membership Renewal Form is on the Membership page on the Club's website - membership renewal couldn't be easier.

Please note that the Club's bank account recently changed to Lloyds Bank Plc (sort code 30-98-90, account number 17250868).  If you have the old bank account details setup for BACS (online banking etc), this should not be used and should be deleted / amended to reflect the current club bank account details.
