From Monday the 24th June the contractors will be ‘building’ the Lytham Festival site
Therefore access to Ribble Cruising Club cannot be via the Bath Street car park as the Festival begin building the site. RCC Members need to use Dicconson Terrace car park access to access our car park with our RCC car sticker until we have fully handed out the special car parking hangers.
Last night (Friday 28th) we held the raffle draw for the 75 complimentary Festival tickets that Cuffe and Taylor gave to RCC. It was a generous donation on behalf of Cuffe and Taylor but an equally generous donation was made in the raffle draw where our members raised £1500 for Lytham RNLI. Thank you all for your support.
The clubhouse will be open from Wednesday 3rd July to Saturday 6th July but from 17:00 each evening during the festival but we are not open on the Sunday.
The clubhouse and bar will be open this coming Sunday – 30th June – at 16:30 for the England V Slovakia game. Come along and watch it on the big screen.
Don’t forget that access to the clubhouse during the festival is via Dicconson Terrace car park whether you are on foot or in a vehicle. You can drive to the clubhouse and park in our normal lower Bath St car park with your a festival issued rear view mirror hanger ,(issued from the clubhouse), or with our Ribble Cruising Club car park sticker if you have not yet picked up a rear view mirror hanger.

A successful Life Jacket ‘check’ session held with the RNLI
It is with sadness that we announce Alan’s death after a long illness.
Alan was Commodore in 1979 and was a long standing Honorary member.
Alan was hugely instrumental in the early development of the club particularly in relation to the dock. He was a well respected sailor and racer at the club and also further afield. A photograph of his last yacht Supermouse with him on board graces the wall in the clubhouse.
Our thoughts and Prayers are with Diane, Andy, and Alan’s friends and wider family.
Alan’s funeral is at the Lytham Park Crematorium on Friday 26th April at 12.15pm, and afterwards a reception at Ribble Cruising Club at around 1.30pm.
