Presentation / AGM 31^st July, 2011

39 members, partners and children enjoyed our second annual AGM/Presentation /Lunch at the Newcastle Cruising Yacht Club. The din from the adjoining birthday party was a bit overpowering when trying to hear what was being said but did not detract too much from the opportunity to deal with the most important day in the life of the Club or distract the kids colouring-in efforts.  Presentation of Annual Reports, Awards and Board Member elections were slotted in amongst the meals and socialising. Well done.
