A change of scenery this year as we board the John Pinkerton II for a scenic cruise on the Basingstoke Canal with supper on board.
During the 2.5-3hr cruise, the boat's licensed bar will be open selling alcoholic and soft drinks, hot drinks and snacks. Depending on the weather, fore and aft decks may also be open to enjoy the fresh air and views
The usual raffle will be held in aid of this year's nominated charity (Hamble Lifeboat), so please come prepared!
We will board the boat at Colt Hill Wharf, Odiham, Hook RG29 1DH. There is parking just a short walk from the boarding point. For details of the boat facilities, go to the Basingstoke Canal Socienty FAQs page
Please note there is a limit of 40 guests for this event.
