Posted by The Committee on Sunday Jun 27, 2010

Bear with us over the next few weeks as the website is getting a major overhaul to make it easier for the committee to keep you all informed next season.

We’re adding an upcoming events calendar to the home page and it’s also being configured so you can check it on your iphone. So this summer you’ll never have an excuse to miss a day out on the water!

Yukka:
During the Saturday night houseboat party EVERYBODY on board drinks Yukka. Don’t worry if you don’t know what Yukka is because you will like it (believe us everybody who has tries it loves it).

Don’t worry if you don’t like Vodka as Yukka does not taste like Vodka at all & even if you intend not to drink Yukka you will end up drinking it because it’s so good.
