AGM 2016
The Club celebrated the achievements of ten 50-year
Members, along with their families who attended, and those
present heard some wonderful stories from these members.
All Members who spoke did so eloquently of their fond
association with the Club, its rich history, and the support
it provided for themselves personally and their pursuit of
sailing. Many reminisced about the excellent level of training
and support they received as Youth Members, of which the
traditions are carried on today through the Centreboard and
Youth Development programs.
The 50 Year Members celebrated at the AGM were:
Lex Brown
Richard Coxon
Nick Crombie
John Harrington
John Kelso
Barry Nesbitt
Bernard O’Sullivan
Barry Shepherdson
