2024-25 Annual Bulletin – Contributions please

Please consider contributing to this year’s Annual Bulletin.
Don’t worry about literary perfection, grammar or spelling – the Editor will help with all of these.
And if you have any photos old or new, please provide those too.

All offers welcomed, however modest or only distantly related to the intricacies of the keel pivots. Domestic disasters are just as much fun to read about in the depths of winter as stirring tales of working through the Greenland icebergs. 

Any text format can be accommodated and can be checked and edited, as many pictures to accompany the text as possible please as the more choice the better as this will help in the layout. Please send photographs separately, not embedded in the documents, with the name to whom they should be credited. In submitting photographs you are confirming that you have the right to give the AOA permission to use them, with appropriate credits, in the Bulletin and on the AOA website.  

A few hours over the next month or two pondering possibilities – and putting pen to paper –  might produce a valuable addition that the whole membership could enjoy so please put your thinking caps on.

Please send all contributions to the editor at this email address or by post to 41 High Road, Needham, Norfolk, IP20 9LB.

And, you could win one of our annual trophies.

Charles Currey Trophy (silver Atalanta model) for Most Adventurous Voyage
Etchells Trophy (watercolour painting) for Best Log published
