Haslar Berth Holders Party               Saturday 14th August

9th July 2010

Don’t miss out on the event of the year!

We will once again be holding a Summer Berth Holder Bash on the evening of Saturday 14th August 2010 on the lawn adjacent to the Marina Office.

This year we will have a fancy dress theme of “Desert Island Madness”, so please feel free to dress up however you see fit…. we certainly will!

The event will again be free of charge to all berth holders, although as usual we will be asking for a charitable donation. We will be “selling” tickets for just £5.00 per person (payments must be made by cash in advance at the Marina Reception). If you would like to bring along guests, then subject to availability, places will be sold for the nominal sum of £13.00 each. To control numbers there will be a maximum upper limit of 400, including guests. We are very proud to announce that all of the proceeds will go to charity; 80% to the local Sea Cadets and 20% to our Finance Manager’s charity, The Freewheelers EVS (Emergency Voluntary Service).

To contend with the unpredictability of the British summer, there will be a specially erected marquee on the lawn overlooking the marina to assist in housing the event. The evening reception will include; Complimentary Bar, Hog Roast and a Live Jazz Band. The evening will begin at 6.45pm with High Tea (and Piňata) for the younger children and the bar will open shortly after at 7.30pm.

Eleonora measures 49.5m overall and has a waterline length of just 29.3m. She is an exact replica of the schooner Westward; which was undoubtedly the fastest schooner in the world in 1910.
