Harry Gregory – Harbour Master Talk
2026-02-25 20:00 - 22:00
The Work of Poole Harbour Commissioners

PHC’s work towards ensuring safe, efficient, enjoyable and environmentally friendly navigation, and how yacht club members can play their part.
Harry first discovered a love for the sea aged six when, on holiday in Cornwall with his family, he took part in a dinghy sailing taster session.
“It felt like it was in the middle of a storm, but in hindsight it was probably quite benign,” he said.
“A lot of my family got into sailing as a result of that, and I gradually progressed from dinghies to yachts then, eventually to ships.”
Along with his parents moving there when he was in his teens, Harry, who spent time working in project management for the Royal Navy and the Ministry of Defence, did much of his training in Poole.
“I’ve always been attracted to Poole, and I always hoped to come back here one day.”
Harry’s new role will see him ensuring the harbour’s Marine Services team and pilots are all operating effectively.
“In the first instance my aim is to fill Brian’s enormous shoes, then I’ll work out what might need to be done after that.
“If I can continue to do what we’re doing at the moment, while making some small improvements and responding to whatever challenges will inevitably come around the corner next week, then that’s great.”
Outside of work Harry spends much of his time with his young family, but when he gets the chance he has a number of nautical hobbies to keep him busy.
To conclude, Harry said: “I’m absolutely thrilled to be here.
“I’ve had a real connection to Poole for many years and I look forward to meeting the several thousand harbour users that we’ve got and working out whether what we’re doing is up to scratch, and how we can make the harbour the best it can be!”

Tim Edom's Ellen MacArthur Cancer Trust Talk
2026-03-25 20:00 - 22:00
Tim will be talking about the Ellen MacArthur Cancer Trust and his involvement helping the young people cope by learning the skills of sailing and working together.
The Trust is for 8-17 and 18-24 year-olds, and is free to anyone who has been treated for cancer. Their free four-day sailing adventures can be transformational. But whether you get afloat on the Isle of Wight or in Scotland, sailing is only the start.
Inspiring brighter futures goes beyond a one-off experience. The Trust’s free Return Trips for under 18s and 18+ years provide the continued support many young people need living through and beyond cancer, and there’s a chance for siblings of young people who are being or have been treated for cancer to enjoy an adventure of their own.

Don’t forget the Restaurant is open so there will be time for a meal before the talk. Make an evening of it.
