Plans on the Horizon for this summer.

Members, see Forum May 21st, et seq. for what may be our major event for this summer, and other thoughts.

One Morbic anticipates holidaying at Newport Pembs in June.

Potential forthcoming events.

Other possibilities include a quick phone around potentially interested Morbic lovers to agree a "spontaneous rally".

Date/s, nature, location/s, (everything really!) can depend on consensus.

3) Clywedog Sailing Club, on a reservoir in mid Wales, welcomes visiting camping sailors in small groups or as individuals. Use of clubhouse, interesting winds as a thousand feet up in the mountains.
