Marina Open Day success

WHITE MILLS MARINA'S first charity Open Day has proved to be such a hit that the marina is now looking forward to it becoming an annual event.

The Open Day held on Sunday 8th June came just two weeks after this year’s Crick boat show, and many visitors from that bank holiday event who were looking for permanent and temporary moorings came to White Mills, we are told, to see for themselves exactly what the marina and the Nene has to offer.

Many stalls

Around 25 traders which included boat related exhibitors as well as a selection of artisan crafters set up their stalls in the marina’s dedicated camping field to create a retail avenue. The ambience of the afternoon was enhanced thanks to some fabulous music from The Whisky Flowers and Odds ‘n’ Sods.

With the marina’s charity of the year 2025 being Northampton based Pink Rooster the amazing raffle which included flying lessons and weekend breaks raised a fantastic £602.00, with Marina Manager at White Mills Marina, Georgina Wickham, telling:

Nice to welcome people

“We are absolutely over the moon with the feedback we have had, it was so nice to welcome people to the marina that we had met at Crick and to show them round.

Being a small team, we were kept very busy which was great and to raise so much money for such a worthwhile cause was a win win all round. Roll on next year, we will be back! “
