We have over 120 members, of which over half keep their boats in North Wales. living all over the North of England and in North Wales.
We regularly plan sailing, training and some port and social events in order to get members to share their experiences, in particular with their own Moodys.
We currently have Port officers in Liverpool, Conwy, Whitehaven and Pwllheli and we are looking for more volunteers for other locations such as Holyhead, Isle of Man and Fleetwood. The size of our cruising area makes weekend sailing in company difficult but not impossible and we hope to arrange some sailing so please visit the Events section on the web-site.
We particularly welcome new Moody owners to get in touch with one of the contacts if they would like to meet up with other owners and come along to one of our events. We are also interested in hearing about experiences you are having with your boats, in particular maintenance and technical issues so that we can further develop our knowledge and skills base.
We hope many of you will join in the activities this season and enjoy the sailing and social aspects of our friendly MOA branch.

Branch information
The AGM was once again held at The Boathouse, Sale, Manchester and was attended by more than 20% of the members. Following the meeting and a hot buffet lunch we enjoyed a talk by Alec Farrell from Blue Point. He is part of the Liverpool marina team and he shared some insights into the workings of the marina and its facilities.
