A visit to the International Boatbuilding Training College Lowestoft.
(their website: www.ibtc.co.uk/)

Situated in the coastal town of Lowestoft, perched on the edge of The Broads the IBTC is ideally placed to promote the craft of boatbuilding. The college sits on the northern shore of Lake Lothing, the tidal reach of the river Waveney, depicted in Ted Frost’s book “From Tree To Sea”, which chronicles the building of a wooden steam fishing boat.

An award-winning college, IBTC offers a variety of boatbuilding/maintenance and woodworking courses suitable for both those looking for a career in the industry as well as individuals wanting to develop existing interests and skills or develop new ones.

A £5 DONATION PER PERSON HAS BEEN AGREED.

Note the change of date to THURSDAY 15 FEBRUARY - the request of the venue
