75 CELEBRATING
Years
Hello again, What a magnificent start to our 75th Anniversary year; Sail Paradise had the largest fleet since Past Commodore Rob Mundle and friends started the event. The comments I received from many competitors were overwhelmingly positive, with most looking forward to next year. It seems hard to believe that our Club is in such an excellent position financially and materially despite the disastrous past year. The Megayacht Berth is nearing completion, and we have some fantastic vessels ready to take advantage of our incredible facility, so keep an eye out once it is commissioned. I don’t think I need to mention how good the Commodores Cocktail Party was because most of you were there. I believe this is a significant resurgence of our Club’s pride, with large numbers attending the birthday nights, and all of our Club functions are booking out in a short time.
Dux Birthday is still a month away, and bookings are already substantial, so don’t delay as the ferries we have for this year limited their numbers due to the dreaded Covid.
thrown caution to the wind and booked a spectacular group ! He won’t even tell me who they are, so we will have to be at the Club on the day; get in quick!!!
To wind up, I must thank everyone for your Sadly, it would seem that ANZAC Day is support and friendship, which is making in doubt for this year, but we are going my term as Commodore enjoyable and ahead with our preparations for the Marine rewarding Honour Guard. Therefore we will be ready if the restrictions lift. Please support Ken Tregeagle this tribute by entering your boat. The Commodore registration forms are available at the Club, there is no cost, and you will be notified of any changes we have to make in advance. The 75th Anniversary Ball is set for the 10th of April, so dust off your 1940’s clothes, practice your swing dancing, and we will see you there. Our Assistant GM Katie and her fabulous crew are going all out to put on a Ball to remember. One event you should not miss is this year’s members day as our GM Brett has
