2008 Annual General Meeting

Welcome to Gina Cazaly who (was) volunteered to join the committee and was duly elected. After the meeting Gina's husband Stuart also volunteered himself, and at the committee meeting on 17th April was co-opted onto the committee. We love Bogofs! (Buy One Get One Free in supermarket parlance.)

Here are the 3 outgoing officers - Chris Rowland, Vice Chairman, Ruth Tracey, Hon Secretary and Colin Stirret, Chairman. Looks as though Chris was finding the proceedings somewhat soporific.

Trophy Winners

After the AGM Colin Stirret presented the Myrtle Axe trophy to John Harper in recognition of his outstanding contribution 15 years as Treasurer.

The Andrew Watsons trophy is now awarded to the most improved sailor. Colin Stirret announced that the winner this year is Ruth Lewis.

Insurance Etiquette

This was spotted at the coveted bottom right-hand corner spot on the Letters to the Editor page in The Times on 3rd April 2006. It was the last of a succession of letters about the etiquette to be adopted following an accident in light of the advice from insurance companies never to admit liability.

Sir, Years ago I was driving down Piccadilly after a night out with fellow medical students when, just before a crash, I shouted: “Watch out, chaps, there’s a stationary taxi backing into us.”
As this was 1932, I handed the taxi driver cash in compensation, and shared the cost of repairing my mother’s car with my three friends.

Dick Jarrett is our oldest Seavet. Here's a photo of him celebrating his 90th Birthday on the water at Croft Farm in 2000. We look forward to celebrating his centenary in similar fashion in 20010.
