Well done to our lovely sponsors @ShepherdNeame who have lovingly created this cask ale for the 85th Return to Dunkirk by @Dunkirk_Ships. Based on a 1940’s beer it’s just 3% make it a great session ale. And it’s on sale at the Royal Temple Yacht Club now.

Thanks to everyone who came to support us tonight. Lower than usual tide meant the lock gate to the inner Harbour was unable to open. Estuary Service Ltd came to the rescue using the Pilot boat to take Santa & volunteer crew into the Harbour. @VisitRamsgateUK @RNLI
