TO ALL CLUB MEMBERS

Arrangements have been made to book the Gemini from Port St Mary harbour for a club sponsored boat trip to the Calf of Man at the end of June.

There are two trips booked, each with a maximum capacity of 12 - and the allocation is on a strictly "first come, first served" basis.

The trips are both for 2.5 hours duration, with a cost of £15 per ticket.  The boat - a twin hulled catamaran - is very stable and seaworthy, with tea served halfway !

The boat departs Port St Mary breakwater as follows

 

1530 hours on Saturday 26th June - returning at 1800 hours

OR

0930 hours Sunday 27th June - returning at 1200 hours.

The trip will take you close to the cliffs along Spanish Head and the Chasms, both coming and going - and close enough to see spectacular bird displays and their nests (guillemots, fulmars, maybe puffins, etc), whilst out at sea we hope to see basking sharks.  The trip should take us as far as the Chickens Lighthouse, and close to the shore along the Calf.

Please email   chrisblyth@manx.net   to reserve your places.

Very best wishes

Chris Blyth (Secretary)

The following e-mail has been received today. If you are able to help, please contact John Phipp who has a definitive list of the sites of graves on the Isle of Man.

Good afternoon
 
Please excuse me writing from work but I am taking the opportunity of lunch time  to investigate the possibility of help in photographing war graves on the Isle of Man
 
I am the Co-ordinator of The War Graves Photographic Project  www.twgpp.org which is working in conjunction with the Commonwealth War Graves Commission (CWGC) to photograph 1.75 million war graves around the world.
 
We are purely a volunteer organisation (including myself) and utilise a volunteer force of over 700 people around the world to take photographs of listed war graves of which we have just short of 1 million at present.
 
The majority of UK is now complete but we are in need of a number of images from the Isle of Man and I was wondering if any of your members might like to help. I appreciate that the photographing of war graves is probably not the most artistic uses of photography skills but we have other camera club members helping and they appreciate what we are trying to achieve.
 
For interest I have attached the list that has been supplied by the CWGC which gives you an idea of the numbers we could be looking at and their locations on the Isle of Man
 
I would appreciate it if you could have a look at our site and if anyone is interested in helping to contact me on my project address steve@twgpp.org
 
Kind regards
