A Warm and Successful Reopening Dinner
Published 15:10 on 16 Feb 2026
Last weekends reopening dinner proved a thoroughly enjoyable return to club life, with 81 members and guests coming together for an excellent evening.
The highlight of the night was an engaging and inspiring talk by William and Susannah Garnett, who shared stories from their recent Baltic cruise. Their reflections were generous, entertaining, and set exactly the right tone for the occasion.
Guests also enjoyed a superb meal prepared by a kitchen team led by Sarah Hayward of The Hand and Flowers. The Club is very grateful to Sarah and her team for delivering such a memorable dinner, and to the front-of-house team whose care and attention made the Club look so special throughout the evening.
The newly refurbished Mermaid Room looked resplendent and was much admired, providing a fitting setting for the Clubs first major gathering since reopening.
Looking ahead, the next key dates in the Club calendar are the Easter Regatta Dance on 4 April and the Fitting Out Supper on 2 May. Both events are now bookable (links below), and members are encouraged to reserve early.
A strong and welcoming start to the season.
