Activities include on water events, some day trips from Goolwa or on the Port River for example and occasionally weekend events like our visit to Nelson on the Glenelg River some time ago or our visit to Cobdogla on the River Murray.

Our magazine, Crows Nest, is published bi-monthly  a week or so before the general meetings and currently has a circulation of around 90 (members other associations etc).

Membership includes people with larger moored boats, both traditional and modern, being used/built/restored and many smaller boats. The focus of the more active members varies from time to time, for example, recently the putt-putt class has been well (but not exclusively)  represented. Members live in many parts of SA. Some members are involved with the Goolwa Wooden Boat Festival and the  historic Armfield Slip group in Goolwa.
