AMYC Easter Event 2024

AMYC Easter Event 2024

The Easter event this year had been planned to be a cruise to Bray for the bank Holiday weekend, including a meal at the Mediterraneum Restaurant.
Unfortunately, after one of the wettest winters on record, the entire river from Oxford to Teddington was red boarded, meaning we were unable to use the boats.
Sharon had planned several Easter themed events such as Hot Cross Bun tasting and egg painting, and these were adapted to use aboard Ginista, safe on her pontoon mooring at Penton Hook. In the event, only three crews attended, Tony and Sharon, John and Geraldine and Terry and Mandy.

​

The crews of Ginista and Laird Tommy enjoyed an excellent pasta meal on board Ginista on the Friday evening (many thanks to Sharon and Geraldine) and on Saturday booked a Thai restaurant in Chertsey which was excellent.

​The weather was kind to us on the Saturday, allowing us to enjoy a walk with the dogs and to sit outside in the sun for pre-dinner drinks, as well as partaking of the freebies provided by MDL.
All in all, those present made the best of the conditions and had an enjoyable couple of days, heading home on easter Sunday.

​Sadly, having to cancel a cruise at Easter seems to be becoming the norm. Let’s hope for better boating conditions to come.
