Marina News


Many of you will have witnessed the spectacle of the tall ships over the weekend or at Newcastle over the week. Everyone involved in the event enjoyed it and I hope that everyone who came along to watch enjoyed it too.

After a letter arrived soon after the event I felt it appropriate to put it into print. The letter in question comes from the Lord Ranks owners the Ocean Youth Trust.

"I write to say a heartfelt thank you to you and your staff for the generous help and assistance affording to our vessel Lord Rank on her recent visit to Hartlepool.

Your kindness and that of the RNLI and Hartlepool Marina Supplies turned what could have been the end of the Tall Ships voyage for the young crew aboard, into an act of kindness and help that reflects well of Hartlepool.
Kevin Blamer and the crew have asked me to pass on their thanks and appreciation."

I would just like to add my thanks to all the berth holders who helped us in not only aiding the Lord Rank but in helping the marina put on a fantastic show over the weekend for everybody.

We have a number of Polo Shirts, T Shirts and Caps from the Tall Ships weekend left for sale at KNOCK DOWN PRICES! Apply to the Lock Office and bag yourself a bargain!
