Photos, paintings, postcards, tickets, scrapbooks, flags, posters, models etc. etc. - all will be welcome. The Club are particularly keen to encourage non-members to come along to this very informal evening and find out what the club is about. This evening is designed to fulfil one of the club's key objectives which is to give members the opportunity to MEET TOGETHER AND TALK TOGETHER. A good collection of material has already been offered for the evening but anyone bringing along an item, large or small, which relates in some way to the steamers of the Clyde will no doubt generate discussion and allow others to share in some facet of steamer history on or around the Clyde. While the evening is informal, and intended for members and potential members to get together and talk about favourite subjects, there will be digital photo presentations and videos shown throughout the evening in one of the meeting areas. Please come along and support the Club and if you would like to learn more about the Club you will be made most welcome on the evening. Additional Information | ||
