Christmas Social
A very Christmassy event will be happening at the LBT this Friday.
Come on down to see all the floats and participants leave for the
Franklin Christmas Parade at 5:15, then we can have our own social until
6:15 when we start to prepare the boats and crews to row down with a
very special person to the Christmas festivities on the Green. Those who
would like to row we leave the LBT at 6:15. Other LBT members will be
joining us so a chance to go out in the Swiftsure, skifffs, or sail a
grebe.
A chance to wear the Christmas Bling!
BYO drinks and nibbles for the WoW social.

Thanks you for opening and reading the Newsletter as well as contributing.
What a great year this has been, starting with our very successful St
Ayles Skiff Regatta! Followed with lots of rowing and friendship. Thank
you everyone who came out in the boat with me. I loved every row. Big
thank you to the unique LBT for letting it all happen.
Merry Christmas, Happy New Year and see you on the river in 2016.
