Red Star Boat Club, Warrenpoint, was honoured to receive 2 complimentary tickets to board the Tall Ship vessel, Gulden Leeuw ( Golden Lion ) on its first visit to Ireland from its home port of Kampen, Holland.
This offer was taken up by the Skipper and First Mate of 'Zig Zag' ( sorry guys ), and we were greeted upon arrival....with Champagne...
The Captain, and owner, Arjen Toller then gave a speech, accepting his membership of Red Star Boat Club - watch out for regular updates on the Club Blog...
