On Monday 27th June, 2011 the LTFUC’s Hon. President Bill Tyzack, BEM, Hon. Chair Susan Angel, Press Officer Raymond Levy and Assistant Treasurer Lilian Julier all attended a reception to celebrate the progress in establishing the AHOY’s new community building.

Her Royal Highness, The Princess Royal had also been invited to see the new building and to officially name a new Power Cat 40 Boat ‘The Ahoy Freedom’, which is the only boat in the UK that can be crewed by youth with disabilities.

In 2006 the LTFUC donated in excess of £11,000 to the Ahoy Centre to have a boat specially built to enable disabled children to sail on the River Thames and it was great to hear that it had been bringing a lot of pleasure to so many children.

We thank the Ahoy Centre for the kind invite and great buffet reception that was provided.
