Event Details
The RNCYC is hosting an event to enable people in the local community to meet Pudsey and to raise funds for Children in Need. There will be Pudsey Pirate Party on Tuesday 16 Jun from 4-5:30, a great event for children and their families.
We would like to invite people in the Rhu and Helensburgh communities to come along to meet and support Pudsey and the Big Bear Voyage crew. There will be Pirate Games for the children, tea/coffee or soft drinks and home baking, and all donations to Children in Need will be much appreciated – cash or cards accepted.
If you are unable to attend the event you can make a donation through the link below:
https://www.justgiving.com/page/jonathan-brewin-1
Parking can be tight at the Club, so if you are coming please carpool with friends, take the bus to Rhu, or park in the village and walk along to the Club.
The Big Bear Voyage 2026
Jonathan Brewin, a past commodore of the Royal Bermuda YC, is skipper of the Big Bear Voyage 2026 taking Pudsey Bear on his First Round-Britain Voyage to raise funds for Children in Need. The inspiration for the voyage is that as Jonathan turned 70 this year, rather than marking the occasion quietly, his wife Jackie and he decided to do something more purposeful by raising £70,000 for Children in Need as it is a charity that achieves so much for youngsters facing challenges.
They are doing an ambitious 2,200-nautical-mile journey around the UK coastline visiting 35 coastal communities including Rhu to raise funds and awareness for Children in Need. For many families, meeting Pudsey is a joyful, memorable moment. His presence brings the mission to life – sparking conversations about mental health, wellbeing and the importance of feeling supported.
Above all, Pudsey reinforces a simple message: no child should ever feel alone.

Are you involved in caring for and maintaining a place of worship in Scotland?
Caring for a historic building can feel like a never-ending task, but thankfully there are some simple steps you can take to keep your building in good condition and reduce the likelihood of large repair projects further down the line.
In this introductory one-day course, we’ll explore how your historic faith building works and the practical steps you can take to look after it.
You’ll be able to put your new knowledge into action right away, with a practical exercise looking at the host building inside and out to identify maintenance issues and areas of vulnerability. There will also be the opportunity to discuss your building with the course tutors and others attending.
Armed with a new understanding of how traditional buildings were constructed, how they work, and how they decay, you’ll leave with the skills and confidence you need to spot and tackle common problems that put your old building at risk.

Swim in Loch Lomond and then enjoy a MTB spin and mixed terrain run round Balloch Country Park. There are 3 options to choose from ‘The Wee Beastie’, ‘The Bikeless Beastie’ and the main event ‘The Beastie’:
The Beastie comprises a 750m swim in the Loch, 17k off road cycle (three big laps) and 5k run (two laps), finishing in front of the castle, sounds a lot easier than reality and a challenge for even the most experienced of triathletes.
The Wee Beastie a 400m swim in the Loch, 9k off road cycle (two smaller laps) and a 3km run (one lap). A proper wee toughie and a great way to start of before taking on the full Beastie another time, still a great achievement and not to be taken lightly.
The Bikeless Beastie Aquathon a 750m swim and 5k run (two laps), this year it is the Scottish Aquathon Championship.

There is retail therapy with a variety of local craft products – sewn, felted and knitted goods to soaps, ceramics and glassware to cards and jewellery. Enjoy seeing the goods and chatting with their makers.
No Geilston Garden event is complete without the Cake stall, always a great range of homemade cake and a nice hot or cold drink.
However the star of the day is always the Garden which is looking so good, thanks to the hard work and skill of the gardeners and volunteers.
Normal NTS entry fees apply, free to NTS members. See NTS website for details of entry charges and membership. Once in the garden there will be no further charges for activities.
