17 FBYC Members and guests in 3 Sailing vessels, one power boat, and several cars celebrated life with old and new friends on the historic grounds of what is now Ditchley Ciderworks. See: https://www.ditchleyciderworks.com/
Cathy Calhoon, Paul Grosklegs,and sister Pam treated the group to a fixed price open bar happy hour, wonderful dinner, and an over the top tour of the manor house that predates the Revolutionary war. Some stayed over and came ashore to enjoy grounds and Brunch before their Sunday departure.
Cathy and Paul recently (in historic terms) acquired this historic property and have chosen preservation over development, as a way of giving back.
Ditchley was once owned by the original Lee family (yes the first Lee was an Immigrant), and modernized in the 1930's by Dupont's.
Put 20 September 2025 "Ditchley Cruise" on your calendar and sign up when events are posted. Come by sail, power boat or car--join us in the large party tent.
