If you already have some sailing experience or would like to get involved read on....


I am a member of Hoo Ness Yacht Club, based on the Medway and one of the closest yacht clubs to East Dulwich.

The club is very friendly and has a "self help" policy which keeps fees low and gives a real community spirit.


Contrary to popular belief, sailing does not have to very expensive and the Club is seeking new members, without boats, who might wish to sail with established crews.


If you are interested, please see the club website - http://www.hooness.org.uk and find the "Join Us!" section



Thanks for reading and if you have any queries, please ask here or contact the club.


Thank you


Graham

From the Club Web site....


"Have you ever wanted to learn how to sail a yacht? Do you have dreams of sailing into the sunset (clich?, but it happens!) Don't have a boat yourself? Or just want to crew?


We have a small team of members who have very kindly offered to share their boats and time with other members who want to do just this!



So you don't need to have your own boat to join Hoo Ness Yacht Club! There are always opportunities to get out on the water, from just outside the club to the Mediterranean.


So ring the Membership Secretary now (or email him) and come and visit us this weekend."

    • Is he local to South London? My father made his solicitor the executive. I, for many years had Lasting Power of Attorney to deal with all his finances including liaison with his bank and payment of his care home fees. I was also responsible for the sale of his home to release funds for care home fees. When he died, I notified the solicitor, obtained the death certificate and organized the funeral, cleared his care home of his possessions . Myself and my cousin were beneficiaries but my father had left a small sum of money to a man in the Midlands whose name was unknown to all of us including my step mother. It  took around 9 months for solicitor to establish that this gentleman had been deceased for a number of years . This obviously put additional charges onto the fees.
    • He's probably in his 70s, just doing a few more bits of work for his clients, many now deceased (ie executing their wills) who will be in their 90s. Everyone else who is younger than 90 will do their research and not use him,
    • I suppose we are lucky that our daughters both drive so do not have alcohol when they are with us.  I start my Christmas food shopping in October, when prices are generally lower. Turkey Crown from Iceland, gammon from Sainsbury's, get put into freezer as do any other bits and pieces i.e. prawns/seafood. Fruit and veg from Aldi nearer the time,. Having 3 vegetarians plus a gluten intolerant, I make much of the other food stuff including desserts. Aldi's version of Baileys is half the price, plus beers and ciders are good value. Neither of us are wine drinkers We generally have fish or vegetarian based food from Marks plus a dessert, I suppose I have always been a careful shopper - I was a single parent for many years where all my wages went to paying the mortgage leaving around £10 a week for food and other bills. My work colleagues used to mock me when I said that a chicken would last us all the week ending up boiling up bones to make a soup base. Old habits die hard even when you have a bit more in your pocket to spend.
