Wednesday 8th July 2015
Our meeting this week was in our usual home of the Community Centre. We welcomed Nicola Werden, who spoke to us about Boats of the Mediterranean. Poor Nicola had a cold on the night so needed to use a microphone so that we could all hear her – her husband was on hand to set everything up for her. Nicola’s talk was more specific than we thought, and she gave an interesting and fascinating insight into their boat – the Never Moody, and their journey from the UK and ending in Greece.
Nicola and her husband had sold their house to invest in the Never Moody as it had been a dream of theirs to live on a yacht. The Never Moody was the lucky boat and they had many adventures, seeing dolphins, attempting to catch fish to be self-sufficient (which was never as consistent as they hoped!) They made many new friends and arranged to meet family along the way. Nicola managed to give us an insight into the sometimes romantic, sometimes funny and sometimes worrying voyage. Their boat is currently moored near Greece and they hope to get back to her soon.
Our exhibition was of holiday snaps and there certainly was a wide range of entries.
Our next meeting will be on Wednesday September 9th 2015 and our speaker will be Rachel Rusholme-Pilcher. She will be entertaining us with a talk on the Science of Sleep. Our competition will be Best tip for a good night’s sleep. We look forward to seeing you then. Please remember to bring your mug for a drink.
