Bargemaster Tales at Lower Halstow Memorial Hall
Bargemaster Tales is stories from over 20 years of Edith May being berthed at Lower Halstow Creek and will feature the highs and lows of maintaining a 117-year-old Thames Sailing Barge, along with the triumphs and disasters of sailing the East Coast rivers and creeks.
Skippers Geoff and Ed Gransden will share their memories, including sneaking into the Queen's Diamond Jubilee Pageant and how they came to appear ignominiously on BBC Breakfast News.
Their talk at Lower Halstow Memorial Hall is on Tuesday the 23rd of May at 7:30pm and is open to everyone.
Entry is £4.00 on the door, which includes refreshments, and a raffle will be drawn on the evening.
Volunteers from the Friends of St Margaret’s Church, Lower Halstow, organise monthly talks from guest speakers at their Tuesday Social Club to help raise funds for the village church.
