Message from the Archive Research Team

Thank you members who have contacted the group and shared your stories and photos. These images are now scanned and catalogued, thanks to Bernie and Rick.

Recent notices in the newspaper and social media are reaching further into our Yacht Club community. As families and friends gather for Christmas festivities, please remind older and past members and friends of our upcoming Reunion and Afternoon Tea on Feb 14th.

The foyer panels displays will be updated soon, featuring the period 1958-1970. The Archive Group appreciate the positive comments from members and visitors.

Identifying people in the 75 year old images is becoming more difficult, please help us by showing and asking elderly relatives, if they recognise any the faces.

Thank you for the family of our first Commodore Frank Sampson, our Committee are delighted to share these very rare original photos.

Serene had a successful offshore record at the time.
The Archive Research Team has gathered all but four of the Club Yearbooks. We are missing 2013-14, 2015-16, 2016-17 and 2017-18 editions.

If any member has one of these and would be prepared to donate it to the Club for inclusion in the Archives, we would be very grateful.
