Sailpast in memory of Roger Frankland Haile, 22 August
This Saturday, the Medway River Users Association, the MSBA’s partner for the non-tidal Medway, is organising a sailpast in memory of Roger Frankland Haile of Bow Bridge Marina. There will be a large number of craft on the river between
EFCC- HYCC land and all the moorings at Wateringbury. The sailpast will commence from HYCC land at 10.50 at dead slow pace. Passing Roger’s bench at Bow Bridge Marina they will salute and sound horns, proceeding up river past the moorings where they will turn and repeat the salute, then downstream back to HYCC and EFCC land and return to moorings. From 1pm everyone is invited to the Rally Camping field where Sue has laid on some entertainment. A fitting tribute to a much loved and respected gentleman. Please feel free to attend.
