This year we have decided to bring forward our annual Christmas awards lunch and make it an end of season get-together. This avoids the seasonal rush and hopefully more of you will be able to come.

The date for your diaries is Sunday 23 October 2011 and the lunch will be at 1pm at Loch Fyne Restaurant, 47 Haven Road, Poole. Click to download the restaurant’s current menu which may change as Loch Fyne specialises in fish in season.

Aug 13th, 2011 | By

Ann and Thomas McGrath would like to thank all who attended and donated to the charity non-wetsuit evening at EDOWSC on 9 August 2011:

“It was a lovely evening with a superb table of food and wine. To all those who left their comfort blanket at home, I am proud of you all for joining in the fun and trembling afterwards. Watching the wine jump out of the cups was quite entertaining!

“But on a more serious note a big THANK YOU for the generous donations. A total of £107 was received for Dorset and Somerset Air Ambulance. Many thanks to everyone for their support”
