Commodores Punch Party 2022

Published 4:48pm on 18 Dec 2022

Members of all ages enjoyed an excellent 'bring a plate' buffet in the club house for what should have been the last race of the winter series. Unfortunately, racing was cancelled due to southerly gusts in excess of 40 knots. Punch and food consumed the trophies and plaques which were not presented at the annual dinner dance and prizegiving in November were awarded to those present.

This almost marks the end of the sailing for 2022, however there is one last chance to race at the club this year on Boxing Day there will be just one race to blow away the cobwebs and work off any Christmas excess... briefing will be at 10.00 with an 11.00 start.

Thanks, and appreciation must also go to Rob and Sandra Smith, who not only ensure all the trophies go the right recipients, but gather them all back each year and clean them ready for presenting. This year the traditional plaques were also awarded to prize winners. These much prized 'prizes' mean that club members get a personal souvenir to keep once their trophies have been returned at the end of each year. Every plaque is unique, handmade, and painted by Sandra - each one a masterpiece.
