Ninety Years of the Axe Yacht Club
19:00 Friday 27 November
This year sees the 90th anniversary of the formation of the Club. Club President Nigel Daniel will recount the history of the Club and its development ashore and afloat. He has been a member of the Club for over fifty years, witnessing the changes ashore from a hut on the beach to today’s state-of-the-art Clubhouse and afloat, from a collection of individual’s boats in the harbour, the development of the Axe One Design Dinghy, the dinghy “glory” days in the 70s and 80s and the evolution of the mooring basin with provision now for 100+ pontoon berths.
Many members will be familiar with Nigel’s book and enjoyed his previous talk on the history of Axmouth Harbour. We can look forward to another informative and entertaining evening.
The illustrated talk will commence at 7pm. The bar will be open from 5pm and a simple pasty (original or vegetarian), chips and peas supper will be available at the end of the talk for £5.00. Those requiring food must book on the website by 12:00 on Wednesday 25th November. If you are just attending the talk, it would be most helpful if you would also sign up as such on the website to enable us to plan sufficient chairs. However, if you decide to attend at the last minute, we will squeeze you in.
