Hamble River Sailing Club Centenary in 2019

With so much to celebrate, the club has organised a year of events and activities on and off the water. The aim is to bring everyone together to commemorate 100 fantastic years of sailing in Hamble and mark the start of the next century of HRSC.

The programme will kick-off on Thursday 29 November with an evening review of the last 100 years of HRSC. Special guests will recall their days at HRSC and members past and present will explore the unique history of the club with the help of old photos and material from the archives.

“HRSC is as strong today as ever and living up to the founders’ pledge ‘to encourage the sport of small boat sailing and racing’,” comments Past Commodore and MC, Jonty Sherwill. The event will take guests on a journey through time, from the founding group and notable events, people and achievements, through to the expansion of the club facilities, over the years and into the future.

The club bar will be open from 1800 with canapés served before a slide presentation at 1900 by Jonty, who will also facilitate a panel discussion. Supper will be served at around 2045.
