Mike Dalglish and Ross Ryan, organisers of the annual Crinan Classic Boat Festival, seem to be turning their minds to the other end of the year – winter.
They will shortly launch their ‘winter website‘ – which will have more details on the 2010 Festival, the race to Tobermory and entry forms.
Now they’re planning a winter get together – the Crinan Classic Winter Gathering. This will be dinner or dinner, bed and breakfast at the Crinan Hotel in February 2010.
The’ll be sending out official invitations after New Year and John Moore, the Festival photographer, will be present and will have an exhibition and/or slide show during the evening.
For those who have neither been to the Crinan Classic Boat Festival nor to the Crinan Canal, they point out that ‘Crinan is a mysteriously beautiful place in the winter as well as the summer’.
And with the instinctive twitch of the organiser, they say: ‘Just don’t come by boat!’
John Moore will be at the festival again next year, come rain or shine and will be available to spend time taking more specific shots of individual boats if he is asked to do this in advance of the event.
Owners of boats planning to come to Crinan for this spectacular event in 2010 and who are interested in having John’s record of their presence there, are asked, in their own interests, to register an interest with him before the festival – and the sooner the better.
John Moore is happy to be visited at his studio in Glasgow where already enlarged photographs from previous festivals are on display in hard copy and on his computer screen. His contact details are:
