Roger Barrett’s talk about Salcombe sailing history on Wednesday 15th, was well received by over 30 members, many of whom purchased books. Roger donated his fee and our raffle takings to his charity, Salcombe Maritime Museum.
During the evening Richard Smith, our bosun, announced that he had had a conversation with EML Autos who have recently opened their premises opposite the Crabshell, previously Waterside Garage. EML are offering members of KEBC a 5% discount across the board on production of their membership cards. Their contact details are available on our web site (www.kebc.co.uk) under information/business links, their web site is currently under construction but will be www.emlautos.com
I am in the process of checking other companies on the list of those offering discounts so keep an eye on the list as there are changes with more in the pipeline.
There are some interesting items for sale in the list of members’ adverts, also on our web site. A page well worth visiting regularly
