Sunday 7th December was the Sailing Club AGM but prior to that was a Pre AGM race. I was assisting Mike Harris as duty officer and I managed to get a few pictures before my camera dropped into a puddle in the bottom of the safety boat. (Sorry Tim, didn’t manage to get a picture of you. You were obviously sailing too fast for me!) Unfortunately, even after drying out, the camera doesn’t seem to work anymore !
A few braved the conditions for the race. Mike Brain tested the conditions but thought better of it and didn’t actually get to the start line (a wise man). Starting the race were, Commodore Rob, Captain Tom, Beachmaster Hught, Matt and Carol in the Vision and Tim, (crewless) sailing his Laser 13 single handed. It was quite gusty in places which caught a few out. Tim, Hugh and Tom all capsized at least once during the race.
Rob won, but I think everyone let him win as he was Commodore and it was AGM day !
The bring and share buffet was in full swing by 1 o’clock with the traditional mulled wine courtesy of the Ian and Felicity. Lots of very tasty snacks provided by the attendees.
I won’t go into details of the AGM as the Minutes have been circulated but here are the highlights.
