The Shellback Club is celebrating 88 years and is BEGINNING ITS 89TH! As usual, we have selected speakers presenting a wide range of nautical and maritime topics and sometimes outdoor adventures.
We plan for 25 meetings loaded with friendly women and men who like nautical topics and interesting informed speakers. OUR FORMAT FOR THE PRESENT WILL BE BOTH IN-PERSON and ON ZOOM (see the PROCESS FOR ZOOM file for details on how to connect and participate in session).
To be “Shellback” only requires attending a lunch meeting and joining everyone in singing a sea shanty. (We found some great shanties online for our ZOOM sessions. Many thanks to Graham Dougall who ensures that these sessions run smoothly for our speakers and members alike. Many thanks to Ron Jenkins for creating and maintaining our website. Look here for our speakers, history, current updates. Ron now also videotapes most of our speakers, so if you miss one, you may go to the website blog to watch the session.
Location: In-person: National Yacht Club, 1 Stadium Road. Alternatively, on Zoom..
Timing: We start promptly at 1230 hours and finish about 1330 – 1345 hours. The guest speaker starts about 1245 hours.
Costs: Once a year, we suggest a $25 contribution to pay for basic communication costs and the minimal costs of operation. Funds not needed each year are donated to local youth sailing charities.
Guests: Guests are always welcome. Invite those who may not have been able to join us in person, but can do so on ZOOM.
Meeting Dates: We meet from October through December, and from January through April.
