Father Christmas
Float - 10th December 2007
The Father Christmas float
will be touring the Island on the 10th December.
Starting at the police station on East Road, and
heading along the neighbouring avenues, so as to
avoid the main roads.
The popular RNLI Christmas
cards will be on sale at Game Estate Agents and
Wyatts Chandlery.
Boxing Day
'Dip' - 26th December 2007
Last years
Boxing Day 'Dip' was very successful, though
arranged at the last minute. This year, it will
be a bigger, and hopefully an even more
successful event.
Participants
can be sponsored, or pay a donation to the RNLI
funds, and details will be available from Game
Estate Agents in Yorick Road and Wyatts
Chandlery Coast Road. Swimmers or dippers are
invited to come along in fancy dress if they
wish, and the event will take place on the beach
between the Monkey Beach steps and the
houseboats. The timing has to be a little
different this year due to the tide, so that
participants will enter the water at 11:30am on
Boxing Day, and will be greeted by a hot drink
when they emerge. Refreshments will also be
available to spectators.
Lifeboat guild AGM -
17th April 2008
The AGM of the Mersea Island
Lifeboat Guild will be held at the West Mersea
Yacht Club at 7:30pm on Thursday 17th April. The
meeting is open for anyone to attend, and we
hope that many people who live, work or sail in
the area will come along to find out more about
this friendly and active group.
