Woodbridge Cruising Club are looking forward to the start of the 2025 sailing season, the organised cruises being a highlight for most members. The onshore programme provides a chance for members to socialise in winter months, during the cold days, when boats are laid up for winter.
Members really relish the popular Wednesday suppers and also the nautically themed Sunday talks. The first talk of January was about the Distant Water Fishing industry by Will, whose family have long been involved in this tough and dangerous industry, whilst the February talk is club members Kathy and Jeremy voyage around the world, focusing on Panama to San Francisco.
The Burn’s night supper is a sell-out, with the traditional haggis, tatties and neaps (as well as the Address to the Haggis).
The first walk of January was around Melton and Bromeswell, led by Nick and Liz and was enjoyed by hardy members and dogs, with a welcome meal at the Coach and Horses. The fortnightly Thursday walks are usually a four-mile stroll around the beautiful Suffolk countryside, ending with a lunch at a local hostelry.
The winner of the Don George Trophy for the best photo taken on a cruise was won but Mark, with Ana as the close runner-up. This was voted for by members on an anonymous basis.
The annual wine tasting is always popular and organised by Phil and Jane in February.
Woodbridge Cruising Club will be running the RYA Day Skipper shore-based and RYA VHF radio courses in March 2025. The latter course is for the SRC certificate, a legal requirement to operate a ships radio. This is open to non-members as well.
If you have a genuine interest in sailing and the sea, have a look at our programme of maritime related events on our programme of maritime related events on the calendar. New members are always welcome.
