AGM success after storms force move to Sunday
Around 30 members attended Hollowshore CC’s Annual General Meeting and Christmas Party, the same number as last year, despite being forced to move from the planned Saturday evening to Sunday lunchtime because of high winds, driving rain and freezing temperatures. As far as we know, only one member missed the e-mail and turned up on…
AGM and Christmas Party a success despite the Weather
The 2023 Hollowshore CC AGM and Christmas Party was another success, with around 30 members braving the bitter weather and poor visibility to attend – although one couple texted their apologies as they were stuck in a tail-back on the A2 caused by an accident in the foggy conditions.

Wrong! Nevertheless, although the first few months of this…

The cruise to Chatham Marina…
Clubhouse reopens
The Hollowshore CC burgee was flying again last Sunday as the clubhouse partially reopened following easing of some of the lockdown rules. The day was sunny and warm, so there was no need to erect the gazebo, and the “feel good” factor was enjoyed by a good turnout of members. The club will be open…
Highlights from 2020 AGM
This year’s Hollowshore CC AGM on Thursday December 17 was for the first and hopefully the last time held on Zoom, with nearly 30 friendly faces on screen, plus another nine who took part by sending in their voting intentions by post and e-mail. The move to Zoom was made necessary by the Covid restrictions.…
