Our Events


MONTHLY "CLUB NIGHTS": Around the second week of each month, a bunch of us meet up for drinks, grub, and idle chatter. Occasionally we have special members-only gatherings, but most club nights are open to all. It's an excellent opportunity to get to know us. If you’d like to receive emails regarding upcoming get-togethers, contact Glenn Martin: glenn(dot)martin(at)tele2(dot)no.

Next club night: Thursday, August 12, our annual Boat Night at Aker Brygge. As usual, starting at around 6 o'clock. Just look for the Canadian flag flying from the mast. If you can't find us, ring Derek Toward's mobile (404 60 660) for directions. The club supplies snacks, but everyone should bring their own beverages.

If you're new to this event ... it's not a fjord cruise. The boats are simply docked at the Aker Brygge marina and our little party spills out on to the docks.

We have one boat lined up but want to add more! All skippers & boat owners can contact Derek for details and arrangements: mobile 404 60 660 or email cheflyd(at)yahoo(dot)com. The club picks up the tab for one night's berthing at Herbern Marina at Aker Brygge. This event's success is based entirely on your participation. The more the merrier, so come out & join us!


HALLOWE'EN PARTY: Late October or early November, usually on a Sunday afternoon. Family oriented.


CHRISTMAS DINNER: Early or mid-December, at the Official Residence. This is a members-only event, and a very popular one.
