Commencing on Friday 16th June, with a nal sailing on Sunday 17th September, there are a variety of 2hr, 3hr, 3 1/2hr, 4hr and all day sailings to choose from, including some returning favourite cruises and some all-new trips! Shieldhall’s number of sailings is comparable with 2022, though with a reduced number of sailing weekends, to help save with Shieldhall’s ‘steam-up’ costs. During 2022 Shieldhall’s fuel costs increased by more than 100%, whilst there have been other increases to operating costs and the general cost of living. Mindful of this, new for the programme in 2023 are three Friday evening sailings. ere is currently an Early Bird on membership - take out membership at 50% o up until the end of January, and receive a 10% discount on all excursion tickets booked. Some highlights from Shieldhall’s 2023 sailing programme: New for 2023, Shieldhall will set sail on each of Friday’s 16th June, 28th July and 11th August, ahead of further trips on the Saturday and Sunday. It’s the perfect way to start a weekend, with a relaxing trip down Southampton Water to the Solent. Also new for 2023 is a Jurassic Coast sailing from Poole Quay on Tuesday 29th August, an opportunity to view a World Heritage Site at close quarters. Shieldhall will also pass very close to Cowes on her Saturday 12th August trip – promising it will be the closest Shieldhall has ever sailed to the north shore of the Isle of Wight. Following a sell-out trip to Portsmouth Harbour on Saturday 22nd July and the racing at Cowes Week on Saturday 29th July. en, on Friday 1st, Saturday 2nd and Sunday 3rd September Shieldhall will be in the very best position to see the impressive sights of the Bournemouth Air Festival. And of course photographers will also want to capture the magni cent motion of Shieldhall’s triple expansion steam engines down below – it’s access all areas on Shieldhall! Shieldhall’smusic cruises remain very popular, with the Selsey Shantymen welcomed back for a performance on Sunday 25th June, and Southampton’s own ‘Salty Sea Dogs’ on Sunday 27th August. Perennial favourites RU40 are back on board performing the greatest hits of UB40 complete with their take on the wonderful ‘Shieldhall Song’ (complete with crew interaction!) on Saturday 26th August. And not forgetting Shieldhall’s own in-house jazz band, e Stompers, who will provide entertainment on her positional cruise to Poole on Bank Holiday Monday 28 August. Shieldhall Chairman John Rose comments: “We’re delighted to publish our trips for 2023, and, in very difficult economic circumstances, to be able to offer a full summer programme. In addition to our published sailing programme, Shieldhall is available for charters and alongside functions. We are indebted to our members and supporters as we look to keep our piece of British maritime heritage alive and steaming.” To viewShieldhall’s complete 2023 sailing programme, please visit: www.ss-shieldhall.co.uk Shieldhall approaching her berth in Southampton in 2022 (where Shieldhall saw both aircra carriers HMS Queen Elizabeth and HMS Prince of Wales in port) the 2023 programme will see two trips into Portsmouth Harbour staged – on Shieldhall’s opening weekend, Saturday 17th June and again on Sunday 13th August. In addition to the naval ships, the trips give an exciting opportunity to view the dramatic skyline of Portsmouth, including Southsea; Clarence Pier; Spice Island and the Spinnaker Tower, from the water. One of the beauties of steam propulsion is that Shieldhall does not tend to vibrate or roll, and as such makes a great viewing platform, perfect for photography. For 2023, Shieldhall will steam to the Solent to watch the spectacle of the Round the Island Race on Saturday 1st July; the Fastnet Race Volunteer Police Cadet Leaders Needed! From Hampshire Police Volunteer Police Cadet Units across Hampshire are urgently in need of new leaders. e Volunteer Police Cadets scheme provides a safe environment where young people can learn as individuals, develop positive relationships with the police and actively support the community. Volunteering your time as a Cadet Leader is a very personally rewarding thing to do. It will enable you to develop your skills to inspire young people to become good citizens. Whilst many of our leaders come from the policing family, we welcome adults from all walks of life and particularly encourage those without a policing background. You will undergo vetting to the highest national standards, including an enhanced DBS check enabling you to work alongside young people. ere are opportunities to become a leader no matter how many hours a week/month you are able to volunteer. e units operate around 2 hours per week in term times and you will be asked to assist in the running of sessions and supervision of cadets at policing events. You do not need any quali cations to become a leader as you will receive training to support you to develop your own knowledge and skillset. You do not have to have previous experience, only an interest in helping young people achieve their best and reach their full potential.
