A GLIMPSE AT THE 2004 SEASON (for 2005: click here)

Sat 31st Jan

Douglas Butler chaired the 2004 AGM at the Wheatsheaf, Perry, to set off his third season as Fleet Captain.

28 sat down for a hugely enjoyable evening.

Apologies were read out from Andrew York, our overseas committee representative in Bermuda.

Over £100 was raised in the raffle for Sailability, our adopted charity

MAY MADNESS

A miserable, drizzly start to the day kept numbers down, but there were 4 Wayfarers out in the pursuit race.

Gordon Oscroft
is pictured packing up afterwards.
Simon Dabson
 only managed second place in the
Father's Oppy race!!

It was encouraging to meet a number of
potential new members
for the fleet.

After a dash over
to the
Water Tower
and back (dodging the fishermen) a
superb BBQ
 lunch from
Margaret Butler,
John and Libby Lamont.

===

The Raffle
raised nearly £60
for Sailability

===

After lunch the wind freshened and games were too risky, so we all had a blast over to the other side and back, enjoying the planing!

===

Thanks to
Chris Dunn
for standing in as our RIB driver,
and our superb photographer!

===

Overall winner of the
Thomas Trophy
 was
John Cranston,
who won just about all the races!
