Monthly Get-Togethers
2025-11-10 12:00, 2025-12-08 12:00 - 15:00
The Joint Monday Lunches enjoyed by the Cruising and Classic Boat Section members,but open to all club members.
Some background information:
We started these lunches as a result from some of our older members at our 2021 Classic Boat Section AGM.
A lot our members are reluctant at times to visit the club due to sometimes not knowing the members who are in the bar lounge at the time of their visit or they have lost their partners and friends in life and are now feeling rather lonely. These members once owned yachts and enjoyed the company of club friends during their younger club days. These friendships have been enjoyed over the years, but time passes and circumstances have changed. Travelling at night can also be a problem for some not wanting to drive in the dark and some have suffered with the new LED lights on newer vehicles that tend to be so bright and very dazzling when driving.
As a result, I decided with our committee to start these Get-Togethers once a month on each second Monday per month. Having run them now for 22 months these last two years they have been very successful, and our members look forward to them.
Please can you advertise these lunches on the club website each month and also have a slot on the rolling TV screens in the club house.
I also check with the office staff each month to make sure that the Skylight Lounge is free,
Mondays being a fairly light day for any hire. These lunches start around 12 noon and last for up to two and a half hours.
Many thanks

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!”

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