RNLI Taunton Annual Lecture 2026

Mike and Sally Bowker sailed around the world in their own boat in 2012. This talk will provide an insight into what it's like to undertake a circumnavigation under sail.

Come along and find out about what went wrong, what went right, places they went and unusual sights and sounds. This illustrated talk has captivated many audiences over the years and will delight and encourage others to embark on their own adventures.

There will be a reception with a free drink and canapes on arrival. Gluten free and vegetarian options will be available. There will also be the opportunity to give both cash and card donations at the event if you wish to.

All money raised goes to the RNLI.
