Events

We had a good AGM, with no contentious issues, followed by an excellent dinner at which Eric Orme (R41 Tabitha) was awarded the Peter Brett trophy. A total of thirty-seven members and guests were present.

The East Coast Summer Meet will this year be at Shotley Marina, River Orwell on 24/25 September. The critical time is 1900 on the Saturday evening for dinner in the Shipwreck. HW is around 1330 BST. It would be nice if we could start to assemble soon after lunchtime. I have arranged a special mooring rate and the ROA will subsidise our supper so there is no excuse! We missed out on our Winter Lunch this year (because I was too busy to arrange it – sorry), so please come if you can. It is always a really enjoyable weekend. If you hope to attend please contact me with the following info at least two weeks beforehand. Email is best (eric.orme at audience.co.uk) with the following information: Name of boat, Your name, Numbers for the meal.

There will be a Scottish meet on the weekend of May 29-30th in the Lagoon at Ardfern, Loch Craignish. Please confirm your participation by May 5th. See here for chart and contact details.

On Saturday April 24, 2010 the Netherlands group will meet in Almere/Haven at 1200 for lunch and a boat tour. There will be lots of time to renew relations and meet new Dutch members. Members from other countries are also welcome! Please advise Jannie Clement at jclement@casema.nl if you wish to attend.
