BRANCH REPORT
The continuing story of our branch saw us having to leave our meeting place at short notice in the summer of 2024. The Cedars school where we had met for 9 successful winter seasons suddenly announced that it had to close down. Our replacement meeting place is no longer in Greenock, but in the neighbouring town of Gourock. It’s at the Royal Gourock Yacht Club.
