........KINGSBRIDGE ESTUARY BOAT
CLUB ... ... ..."...there
is nothing - absolutely nothing - half so much worth
doing as simply messing about in boats."
The Club is well supported
by local businesses (and some from
further a field) that provide us with
advertising revenue and, in most cases,
discounts on boating gear. Members are
requested to use these businesses
whenever possible and show their
membership cards when asking for
discount.
