Branch AGM, followed by a talk by Jane Harman
The Thames Sailing Barge May was built by John & Herbert Cann of Harwich, Essex and launched in 1891. After a long working history as a cargo carrier, marine training and hospitality venue, May was taken over by Connie and Gerald Gadd in 2011 and is now being restored by The Bread and Roses CIC team as a community hub run by women for women. She is currently moored at St Osyth Boatyard, Clacton-on-Sea. May is now owned by the CIC, with an asset locked guarantee that will secure her future, enabling her to be of continued benefit to the communities that she will visit.
