North East Boat Clubs

[braine]

Hi Lads,
I am compiling a list of NE boat clubs that cater for the trailer boat fraternity up to 20 foot. I would like to cover Edinburgh to Hull or thereabouts.
If you can spare a bit time can Club Secs or members please send me details of the Club name, meetings and number of members with Secretary contact details please? and where you launch / cost etc.
Contact dtails either through the NESA site or:-
CompSec@seahamharbourboatclub.co.uk

Thanks in advance lads.

hi braine,

to the best of my knowledge there is no small boat clubs on the east coast of scotland, if there is i would be interested to join.

Hi Les,
Thanks for that one.
I know there is one at Shields and Newbiggin plus ours at Seaham.
looks like most boat anglers are a couple of mates who go fishing.
Thanks anyway.

Hi Bill,
It would be nice to have a list. I phoned you Sat re getting a launch at Seaham. Ended up getting a pass for Sunderland slip which was a bit pricey. It would have been cheeper joining seaham but not possible in the timescale. The only other club I know of is Seaton Sluice boating association but from my experience it is not a slip launched club as such perhaps because their slipway is a reversing nightmare to say the least.

I will contact a friend who launches at Saltburn, not sure if its a club or not and its definately a tractor launch.

Hope the match went well, or at least better than our trip did.

Hi Dave,
sorry for the delay but been up at Inverness. Seems like no one else is interested. Plenty of boats and fishermen but little interest in clubs.The dock Co want to get day launches going but have not decided how to go about it yet. We have 40 boats on our list now so the club is getting bigger by the week. Also got a winter trophy to fish for so we will be fishing all year round now, weather permitting. We have a couple of members from Yorkshire who trail up some weekends just for a change. We are trying to get something going about day launches so will let you know when it happens.
