On Friday the club held our annual general party.

Proceedings began with the Annual General Meeting, the last under Commodore Cox! Andrew has served on the club’s committee for the past ten years – five as treasurer and five as commodore.

In his farewell speech, he reflected upon the successes and strategy for the club over the past five years, which included on the key elements that drive our success.

Andrew left the club with four requests for owners

  1. Read and respond - if you’re reading this newsletter, you’ve passed the first test!

  2. Act like an owner – the club belongs to all of us, and we should behave that way

  3. Volunteer to volunteer – we need all of your help (contact Kirk Marcolina to volunteer

  4. Engage, engage, engage – it takes all of us to be the world’s best laser club!

Andrew thanked the club, its members and volunteers and for their support, and acknowledged his fellow committee members that served during his time as Commodore, noting it had been a pleasure and honour to work with them, and thanking them for their tireless commitment, excellent ideas, considered debate, wise counsel, and moral support.

Commodore Cox finished the meeting with a smile on his face, having taken a clean sweep of the Winter Championship and the summer Masters Club Championship.

Following the formalities and prizegiving members were moved on to the party with awesome pies, salads, and drinks. A special thanks to Diana Chen for organising the festivities before her early morning boarding to London the next day, and to James Tudball and The White Tree for providing the band.

As a special treat, those who kicked on witnessed awesome cameos by Dene Bergman leading Piano Man on harmonica and Isabelle Wilkins showing off her incredible voice with Valerie – they brought the house down!
