Mid-Winter Potluck and Movie Night

Join us for our annual Mid-Winter Potluck and Movie Night, this year featuring "Maiden."

Maiden is the story of how Tracy Edwards, a 24-year-old cook in charter boats, became the skipper of the first ever all-female crew to enter the Whitbread Round the World in 1989.

Tracy's inspirational dream was opposed on all sides: her male competitors thought an all-women crew would never make it, the chauvinistic yachting press took bets on her failure, and potential sponsors rejected her, fearing they would die at sea and generate bad publicity. But Tracy refused to give up: she remortgaged her home and bought a secondhand boat, putting everything on the line to ensure the team made it to the start line.

Bring a potluck dish to share. We'll have dinner and then sit back and enjoy the movie. Bring a low camp chair if you have one.
