Weymouth and Portland cruising association hosts presentation night at AGM.

Following the annual boat jumble last week the cruising association held their annual general meeting at Castle Cove Sailing Club on Tuesday.

At the meeting. president Tess Reid summed up the activities over the past year including the various cruises and the successful winter talks programme. 

After the business of the meeting, trophies were awarded to Paul Gardner for his work helping the committee with the club’s blog and to Alison and Chris Forrest for their extensive cruising in the Greek Islands and to the west coast of Italy. 

Tess Reid and Jacqui Crawley, as outgoing president and social secretary, were presented with bouquets of flowers by long standing committee member, Michael Gregory. 

After the meeting members enjoyed a ploughman’s buffet when plans for the summer cruising programme were discussed. 

As this was the last meeting the club will be holding at Castle Cove Sailing Club, bar manager, Grahame Kington, was handed a card signed by members and a voucher as a thank you for his support and friendly service over the last few years. 

The club’s next meeting will be on Tuesday, April 8 at the Weymouth Angling Club which will be their home for the foreseeable future.
