An illustrated talk by Jeremy Bratch
Jeremy has been a guest speaker at Branch meetings since April 2011. Such is the excellence of his presentations and the graphics that accompany them. This will be his 13th visit to Chiltern Branch.
This time, his talk takes us on to blue waters as opposed to still, and traces a century of changes in leisure boating and marine technology. Jeremy is on the staff of the Cruising Association, an organisation founded in 1908; his talk will trace the history of cruising and the Cruising Association over the past 115 years against the background of developments that have taken place. Intriguingly, his talk includes an explanation of how an ice cream became a Cruising Association members’ curse or just maybe a blessing and how the most valuable cargo the UK ever sent to America is aboard many boats and is in all our homes.
Not to be missed!
