Coinciding with the final day of the Largs Viking Festival, Sunday 4th September brought our latest annual Open Day at the club and a thoroughly great day was had by all who attended.

The club had its distinctive large blue gazebo on site with a selection of members' club boats on display with much interest from all ages of the public and many questions as to where to buy, how to build and how to operate them.

Funds were boosted by sale of tickets from the raffle of various items generously donated by club members.
Our thanks to ticket sales by Irene McAuley who cheerfully dotted in and around the crowd in her inimitable manner.

On the pond many model power boats ranging from tugs, replica CalMac ferries, fishing boats and speedy flip racers showed their paces, fast or slow to an admiring audience.

After the raffle, the larger 6-metre class yachts raced around the buoyed course impressing all, either with the operator's skills and speeds over the pond, or with the sheer beauty and joviality of the ocassion.

All in all the club celebrated a lovely day, which was particularly satisfying for all after foreboding weather in the morning thankfully turned to wide blue skies and warm sunshine. The whole event was exceptionally well-received by folk turning up to join us and share in their enjoyment.

It wouldn't have been possible without all the help and assistance selflessly given by members and friends alike in making this Open Day 2022 the success we hoped for. To them, many thanks are sincerely extended.

Here's to next year!

Slàinte / Skål / Cheers!
