YOBs take over club
Friday 7th January saw Weymouth Sailing Club taken over by the YOBs (Youth on Boats) for their Annual Prize Giving. The evening was very well attended by youngsters and their families. Cups and trophies were presented by the club Commodore Mark Bugler, who first explained to the youngsters how to tell the difference between a Commodore and the Condor Ferry after a recent survey revealed that many of them did not know.
Tom Rees took line honours with 3 racing trophies in his last year sailing as a Cadet but the evening belonged to Alice Perrett who walked off with 4 trophies including Cadet of The Year. She was also voted by her peers as their new Class Captain against a worthy opponent Cory Ronayne, replacing Katherine Samways.
After the prize giving a large spread of food, which was prepared by Daphne and Michelle Samways, quickly disappeared at an alarming rate.
This was followed by a disco and a very large raffle consisting of about 30 quality prizes including a meal at The Boat That Rocks and several items of equipment donated by O'Three and various prizes donated by parents and local business.
Picture below shows Mark and Rima Bugler with the prize winners.
