March 20, 2008 7:30 PM Vancouver Maritime Museum	Club Meeting	A rare privilege, a tour of the Maritime Museum’s warehouse led by Curator Guy Mathias. An opportunity to see and hear about so many of those artifacts which have never been on public display. Only about ten percent of the museums artifacts can be on public display at any time because of space constraints.
April 17, 2008 7:30 PM Vancouver Maritime Museum	Club Meeting	An evening with Tony Latimer and Pat Thompson featuring a presentation on the building of the schooner Forbes & Cameron
May 15, 2008 7:30 PM Vancouver Maritime Museum	"On the Water" Event.	Members are encouraged to bring their boats down to the Vancouver Maritime Museum anytime in the middle of the afternoon so as to avoid the rush hour traffic. There is a little sandy beach right at the parking lot. Enjoy the afternoon and evening, messing around in small wooden boats. Bring a picnic and enjoy the afternoon.Launching can occur at the beach site or if launching from a trailer, just to the east at the boat ramp by the Coast Guard station at the mouth of False Creek. Club members can try other members craft, and get a feel for different hull shapes and designs, and experience how they perform in the relatively protected waters off the Heritage Harbour. Club boats, the Vogler skiff and the SamMc will be available, and possibly our latest project the Darcy.
