An early start for a cruise from Bradford-on-Avon Marina to Bath. This
will take us through the beautiful Avon valley and there are plenty of
opportunities for meal stops on the way, or in the Sydney Gardens and Bath
itself.
We hope as many members as possible will bring
their boats so that everyone can enjoy the social side of the EBA – cruising on
the river Avon in great company - but as always, if you cannot come by boat
yourself, you will be invited to join us on another member’s craft.
You are encouraged to bring guests.
Members wishing to attend on Saturday or Sunday, with or without a boat
