Our New Venue!

Our regular biweekly meeting took place at our new berth on Friday 1th August.

15 of our members gathered at the New Greentrees in Dyce, Aberdeen and what a wonderful welcome we were given by the owner and his staff! (more details here)

The place was all set up for us and looked most inviting...

I have to say that the scones and cream were top notch - hot out the oven (possibly microwave? 😀) the unlimited tea/coffee was served frequently by our lovely hostess!

It wasn't all about food - we also had a quiz on the Royal Navy which our resident 'boffin' Chris won... by one point!

Mike Deeming also shared a moving story from the Nautical Institutes Seaways magazine about picking up seafarers lost at sea.

The next Petanque meeting was organised by Doug and will be held on Wednesday 26th at Stonehaven Petanque court.

Of course, there was much ongoing banter amongst the groups and everyone enjoyed our regualar meeting.

Then came the food...

I think I speak on behalf of all those who attended when I say it was a great start in out new "Home" at the New Greentrees.

We meet every two weeks so if you are a retired seafarer, why not plan to join us at 09:30 for a few hours of friendship, food and fun? Just drop me a quick note using the contact form to let us book your seat!
