Social Events at HISC Early 2012 . . .

Here are just a few of the events taking place at HISC in the early part of the year.

Alpine Themed Dining in Night on the 25 February.

And on the 9, 10 and 11 March we have a Truly Local Weekend when the HISC Archive team will have a display of HISC Artifacts over the weekend and there is a Local Sourced Dining in Night on the Saturday.

Next GODS Event - Thursday 9 February 2012 . . .

The February GODS dinner should appeal to everyone with an interest in the Harbour. The Chichester Harbour Trust, one of the main charities working for the preservation of the Harbour in which we all enjoy our sailing, exists to conserve, protect and improve the natural beauty and wildlife of the area for the public benefit by acquiring land, sites and buildings within the Chichester Harbour Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty and its setting.

We are pleased to have as our speaker Sir Jeremy Thomas KCMG who will look at the lighter side of the Trust’s activities including some diplomatic incidents and his own recollections of boating in the Harbour 50 years ago.

As always we welcome ladies to this event, including their own good food and company in the dining room before we all meet again in the Main Bar for Sir Jeremy’s talk. Due to the Clubhouse being opened specially for us we regret that you cannot just turn up on the evening, unless it is to hear to talk only (approx 20.45), so it is essential that you book in advance for the dinner (£15.00 by Clubcard) and by Tuesday 7 February at the latest. To do so please contact the HISC office - 023 9246 3768 or use the link below. Don't delay, do it now! - PC
