First Aid Night
This will be a great overview on basic First Aid and hope to have as many attendees as possible. Not only will it be an informative evening, you could save someone's life with this new knowledge.
Classic & Vintage Yacht Racing
This will be an amazing talk by Simon Weir on Classic & Vintage Yacht Racing. As always as many attendees as possible to make our guest speaker welcome. Lectures | Photography by Simon Weir "An outstanding presentation with stunning photography" is just one of the many positive comments on his website, this is sure to be an evening to remember.
RYA Cruising Manager Q&A
Stuart Carruthers from the RYA will be here to answer any questions you may have. We hope to cover topics such as Calor dropping the 4.5kg bottles, what documentation do we need when sailing to Europe plus many more. Please have a think about any questions you may wish to ask beforehand. This will be a very useful and informative evening, driven by the audience.
Open Mic/Chat night
Subject to change but hope to have further stories and confessions. As before it will be a great evening and someone is bound to have us in stitches of laughter!
Celia Holman – Noel and Elizabeth Viner Brady – the unsung saviours of Twickenham’s heritage riverside
Apart from a small plaque in York House in Twickenham, and mentions in multiple footnotes of local history books, the story of the Viner Bradys 50 years of living on Twickenham's riverside has never been told before. This highly illustrated talk will demonstrate the extent to which the preservation of so much of what we see and value today on Twickenham's riverside is done to the efforts of one particularly well equipped (she had the money, he had the legal background) couple. Sine qua non!
Social evening

Visitors are welcome on any Thursday club night held at the VBS Community Stadium
