Pontoon Party - Photo Report
We had lots of rain in the morning hours, which was a little bit of a worry, however by noon, just in time for our barbeque party we had sunshine...
Thank you to the 30 or more members that turned up for a good afternoon in our Marina.
Below you will find a link to a few photos snapped during the day, if there are more photos taken by YOU, please email these to Hans.

The pages are now “cleaner with more white space”, we have done a spring clean, new design, added a search feature and a buy and sell section, we made it easier to update and now all of your photo sets dating back to 2002 are available as Flickr sideshows.
Steve Bullman, Graphics Designer and Brentford Dock Resident has refreshed our logo.
