The SpinnakerMultiple EventsWhew. The events team have had a busy time, Labour Weekend Sunday was the ever successful Old Salts, sadto see some of the old faces not attending now, some of whom must be sailing over the horizon. We need to getthe next generation to come along but many seem to be put off by the term of ‘old’, shame as it’s an excellentway to keep in touch with old mates.The Kids Xmas party was a rage, wall to wall fun, thanks to Dave Wilcock , daughters & friends who took on thetask of face painting, Fiona & Matt who conducted the games and held the attention of the children withmusical chairs, balloon popping game & statue dance, these were preceded by Mr Topper who kept his audienceamazed with his magic. Thanks also to the parents/ grandparents for their support in bringing a great variety ofdelightful food & to the Police launch Lady Elizabeth III, skippered by Sgt Dave Houston and his crew, that gotinto the spirit of things delivering the presents, distributing them and showing the young and not so youngaround the Launch. Thanks to Tottie for buying the prizes and Ann for the balloons and help in keeping up withall the to-ing & fro-ing of emails leading up to the event. It took a bit of organizing but well worth it when yousaw the kids faces. Thirty-six kids were present & the adults needs were tended to by Paul Vautier. Big thanksalso to Karman who came to the club rooms for a meeting of the Outriggers and got stuck into the laying out ofthe food and at the end was clearing up, many hands make light work, and it’s impossible to name all that didhelp, it’s a great club.December 5 th for the adult members was also a great night. The Shenanigans got people dancing away & lettingtheir hair down (my hair let me down some time ago, I think I got too tall for it, I started growing through thetop). Al got everybody involved in his quest to uncover one of the great mysteries of life, which is how manypieces of Hokey Pokey is contained in a two litre tub of ice cream, last time I saw him he was in the middle ofthe floor up to his elbows in the concoction (and I never did find out the answer). The lively music even got JohnSeggie dancing, complaining that if his knees were crook in the morning he was going to hold me to account forit. This was apparently no issue for Wade McGee, who in the later evening had us all enthralled by his trippingthe light fantastic with something that was a cross between Fred Astaire & the late Mr Jackson.The Bar person did not show (this was bit of a bar-steward) but again members got in behind and saved the day,comments of praise were made about the band, the food & the entire evening (which hopefully might make theticket selling easier nexttime).The weather at time ofwriting in late December,is appalling, all waiting toget down the Sounds,Murphy’s law operating.While we have a strongIrish theme to thisreport I am prompted toquote the old Irish saying“May the wind be at yourback not coming from it”.MikeEvents team(Ed: Here’s what washappening on the eventsscene back in 1968, theyreally did say “Ladies, aplate”).- 13 -
