AGM

Weather:  Lovely winter afternoon

Temp:  About 12

River Condition:  Dead calm 

Excitement Level:   High and rising

New Boats:  Sutherland and Yann

Rowers:  The entire Club

Interesting Afternoon . . .

Kerry and I were the ‘new Vets’ representatives at this year’s AGM . . . and we chose to take a leaf out of the ‘old Vets’ book and sit back and watch the proceedings.  There some line items in the accounts that we did not understand, but overall we seem to be in a healthy position.   

We watched  all the awards with great interest . . . and noted that our very own Gags got by far the biggest applause when he was announced ‘club person’ of the year.  The only item of uncertainty was the election of Club President . . . but it turned out to be non-event and Fiona Dixon was re-elected in a landslide.

We all watched the traditional naming of the Sutherland and Yann – and there really no truth in the rumour that Yarra Yarra is going to be re-named Yann Yann!
