Dear FOA Member,
This year we are going to the Glasgow for our AGM and Laying-Up Dinner. Glasgow is the largest city in Scotland with historical links to the sea and international shipping. With its many attractions and proximity to the Clyde and Highlands and Islands this event could easily make part of an excellent mini-break.
So why not come to the AGM, meet with friends old and new, in addition to fellow Fisher enthusiasts to share our stories, both the triumphs and the learning opportunities, from years of adventures on the high seas.
This year rooms are reserved for us on the Saturday night, please use the booking link to get the FOA price. There is also a list of close by alternative accommodation included.

TALL SHIP GLENLEE FOA TOUR
150 Point house Place, Glasgow, G3 8RS
The Story of the Glenlee
From a British cargo vessel, an Italian ship of mystery, to a sail training icon of the Spanish Navy, the Tall Ship Glenlee has adapted to many changes over a 128-year history.
The sail-powered cargo vessel circumnavigated the globe several times, underpinned by the famous Clyde built steel hull that has far outlived the original purpose when the ship found new life as a naval classroom for building maritime skills for over 70 years in Spain.
Threatened with scrappage, the Clyde Maritime Trust bought the ship with an ambitious restoration plan in 1993, which has enabled a new life for the ship in Glasgow. The Tall Ship Glenlee continues to share stories of the people and places of the ship while providing a unique space for learning, heritage and entertainment in the city.
A Fisher Owners Association special tour has been arranged of this wonderful vessel. The tour will commence at 11.00am on Saturday 1stNovember. There are only 30 places available at a cost of £4 per head. This is an excellent opportunity to spent time exploring the glories of one of these fabulous old vessels.
