Committee News
The committee held a meeting on 24th July when they were told that the conversion kit for the new engine had been purchased, but not yet fitted to the Lady Ann as Eric is waiting for a copy of the manual for fitting it. This will be done as soon as this is available.
A discussion took place over the future of the [unreliable] Johnson engine. It was felt that due to the age of the Mariner engine it would be sensible to sell both of the two stroke engines and buy a new four stroke engine for the yellow safety boat. This would simplify our requirements for fuel for the boats.
We agreed that an 0830 start for our open ‘Pirate Day’ on Saturday was too early and that we would have it on the Sunday, starting at 1000, with a lunchtime BBQ. Members will be told about this and efforts will be made to attract anyone in the area to the club. The details will be thrashed out at the next meeting after the Regatta.
Bob has agreed to run a mini course for a couple of people who are keen to get their RYA dinghy certificates, rather that make them wait until next year when they might well have gone elsewhere.
The bar takings and BBQ were swelled by the visit of boats from the Arbroath club visiting Perth on the 14th.
If anyone has any ideas for a guest speaker at the prize giving dinner, could they get in touch with Audrey or any committee member.
Malcolm Moore.
