We have arranged with RYA that LSC Members can use the RYA Lounges at both the Southampton and Excel Boat Shows on production of their LSC Membership Cards. Normally entry is restricted to full RYA Members only.

The RYA Lounge at the Southampton Show is in the Mayflower complex next door to the RYA Stand - E037.

Iain Muspratt writes: 'Whilst I appreciate many LSC Members are RYA Members, for those who are not the RYA Lounges provide a restful haven (and somewhere to sit!) in what are often otherwise congested and hectic areas. The lounge at Southampton provides a further benefit - escape from the rain should that ever happen!!

In return we are allowing RYA Gold Members the ability to lunch at LSC and use our bar on limited occasions to lift the profile of LSC amoung RYA Members who otherwise have no London base for their occasional visits.'
