From the Commodore
I would like to take this opportunity on behalf of all the members to thank George Copp for organising the new sea-defences at the south end of the boat park, Joe Armstrong for the re-laying of the water and electrics, and Paul Jury and his men for executing the contract so efficiently.
Open week was blessed with decent weather and went off very well, and the Cadet program was attended by 90 youngsters. Thanks here to the Rear-Commodore, Senior OOD and Training Officer for their organisation, plus the instructors, safety boat crews and shore-based helpers, without whom none of this would have been possible.
Despite poor mid-summer weather, most of the racing program was completed and now, sadly it is time to lay-up and start planning for next year. However the Vice-Commodore has organised lots of social activities for the winter (see below) and we hope plenty of you will attend.
By the time you read this, Mukti Mitchell should have completed his Low Carbon Lifestyle circumnavigation of Britain. Congratulations to him and those who crewed for him on a magnificent achievement.
As a result of more thieving from the changing rooms during Cadets week, the committee has decided on new security arrangements for next season.
The AGM is on 30 November at 1930hr. The procedure for tabling questions etc. has been posted up on the Club notice board. Please try and come. After all it is your Club and it would be great if more of you came forward to help run it !
