Belfast Harbour
Many, many members enjoyed the facilities and hospitality offered by the Belfast Harbour Commissioners during the inaugural flotilla.
Although we have forwarded thanks to the organisers as an association many of our members have correctly individually expressed their appreciation. There can be no doubt that Belfast Harbour Marina has been firmly placed as an excellent and convenient destination.
I have included some photographs kindly supplied by the organisers. Many of our members boats are highlighted within.
Should any of our members wish to submit some photographs for the event we can create a gallery…….
Some members will remember the visit of the actor Timothy Spall on his barge to “G” Pontoon Bangor Marina last summer. It all became part of a 4 part TV series and the third and fourth parts are being shown tonight. The show can be picked up on BBC4 and on the iplayer so check out the listings.
Episode 3 of 4
Duration: 30 minutes
Sea adventurers Timothy Spall and his wife Shane take their barge to three different countries and the Isle of Man. From Whitehaven, where Spall learns about the pirate John Paul Jones, they steam over to Douglas to visit his son, actor Rafe Spall, who is there to work on BBC2′s The Shadow Line. Next they visit a city Tim loves dearly, Belfast, and a special pub he says is ‘the finest drinking establishment in the English-speaking world’. Finally, it’s across to Portpatrick and Scotland, as they clock up some serious nautical mileage in their circumnavigation of the British Isles.

Wireless Mystery Theatre Presents ‘The Wireless Room’, North Down Museum, Thursday 5th April – 7.30pm
On April 14th 1912, hundreds of wireless radio communications filled the air over the mid-Atlantic. Were it not for Marconi’s wireless telegraph system and the bravery of the wireless operators, there may have been no survivors to tell the tale of the Titanic, the most famous sinking in history.
In this exciting new piece of audio theatre, on the 100th anniversary of the sinking, Wireless Mystery Theatre – On the Air presents the radio signals that went out on that fateful night: from Titanic herself; from neighbouring ships; from land-bases and newspapers. Using ships’ logs and the reports of the one surviving wireless man, the audio play weaves wireless messages with music and sound effects to recreate the sound of the night to remember.
Wireless Mystery Theatre is an ever-popular series, presenting old-time radio plays, jingles, commercials, public service announcements, and music, to a live theatre audience in a 1940′s radio studio environment. It also produces old-time horror/mystery/suspense style podcasts, recordings, and other broadcasts. Wireless Mystery Theatre is produced by On The Air, Northern Ireland’s only audio theatre production company.
Tickets £11/£9, available from North Down Museum (028 9127 1200), Bangor Tourist Information Centre (028 9127 0069) or at www.northdown.gov.uk/bookings
