Tradition Upheld At Club Commissioning


This weekend, in glorious sunshine and a favorable breeze, to the tunes of the pipes, the Club was officially opened with a fine Commissioning ceremony on the lawn.  Many boats then left the harbor for the sailpast and afterwards participated in the hotly contested Halcro Challenge cup.  Surprisingly, the Vice Commodore's team emerged victorious but, true to a long-standing tradition, the winner was required to take a dip in the lake.  Being of a stubborn nature, he did not go easily, but was finally subtly persuaded to take to the water.  We now know the depth of the water off C dock is still at least 6ft.
