The Lions Club
Annual Fund Raising Festival 2008
The Boat Parade.
It's back! And
with a vengeance!
Like a Phoenix rising from the ashes, the re-emergence of the Windermere & Ambleside Lions
Club Boat Parade on Saturday
9th August 2008 saw over 25 vessels of all descriptions taking
part.
This feat was made possible by the
sterling work of Malcolm Atkinson of the Lake District Boat Club,
who organised the event and Elaine Middleton of
Total Sailing, Bowness
who 'pestered' and cajoled people into taking part.
Elaine said "this has got to be the
best parade for a number of years and we hope to make it even bigger
next year, although it would be nice to see a few more businesses
taking part next year."
The 2008 winners and runners up in the
four categories
were:

For 2009, it is hoped that there will

some of the Lake District Boat Cub boats. If you are
