Club safety boat ship shape for the season!

Please join us in a huge big thank you to member Duncan, who has made our club safety boat all ship shape and tested for the season! 👏. Help like this is invaluable to our special place on #lochleven.
 
Our safety boat is also a long term generous loan donation from another member, Niall.
 
Generosity like this of members in equipment, time and skills, is part of the reason our club is such a great place for people to try sailing, boating and paddle sports for the first time here.
 
If you’d like to enjoy #Glencoe from a different perspective, out on the water, then this is truly the place!… and you can do so safely!. 👍
 

THANK YOU DUNCAN, THANK YOU NIALL! 🫶🫶🫶

Thank you for Our First ‘Love Our Club’ Day!

Thank you for Our First ‘Love Our Club’ Day!
Thank you so much to our many, many members who joined in at our first Love Our Club day of 2024. 
So much hard work, and so much was achieved – in between socialising of course! 🥰
 
Love Our Club days were established to combine a monthly social event, with phase one of our clubs growth plans.
 

We had so much and fun, and achieved so much!

Lots of tidying out, tidying up and ‘recycling’ of old items such as the huge tyres which are now beautiful planters at the entrance to the club. 😀 
 
Indoors, outdoors and our outbuildings all tackled – making this first of our regular monthly events a very successful one. 👍

Launching Love Our Club Days 2024

As well as launching boats back into the water this spring summer, we are launching Love Our Club days!

On the last Sunday of every month April – September inclusive, we will be holding a member’s social event. Come along for a chance to catch up with fellow members, welcome new members, and blitz some club maintenance. We have a varied club ‘to do’ list and as they say, many hands make light work!

The BBQ is ready to be fired up!

Will we see you there? 12pm – 5pm

It’s fair to say, like many of us, we hit our fifties and it’s easy to let things slip a little. We want to help our club thrive in its fifties! Having celebrated its 50th anniversary in 2022, it’s time for us, current members, to ensure the legacy of those who created this gem of a facility continues. It’s our shift to protect, maintain and develop our facilities for another 50 years! Read more

A snapshot of the 2024 Glencoe Boat Club AGM

2024 AGM for The Glencoe Boat Club  was held on the 11th of February.

All members of the club were invited by e-mail in advance and several members gathered in the comfort of our clubhouse in support of the development of our club. A community spirited club with a clear objective to be inclusive, we were delighted to see amongst attendees a younger member of our community arrived by pushchair, and one arrive from our four-legged community by lead. Both were, as in club rule, accompanied by an adult member!

This is an example of our members feeling welcomed at all times, to be able join in with the important matter of running and growing our club for the interests of everyone and we are very grateful for that.  Read more
