News of Members - Joan Bray

Welcome

We warmly welcome the following new members to the Club :-.
John and Caroline Graham who own a Merlin Rocket. John is also a member of Ditton Skiff and Punting Club and we hope that both he and Caroline enjoy their new hobby of sailing.

Robert and Finian Gloyn.

We are also pleased to welcome back an old member, Neil Biddle, who was an active member for some years and is now rejoining as a social member

Condolences

Our deepest condolences go to Teresa Moore whose husband John died unexpectedly on New Year's Eve on holiday in Spain.
John was a very popular Commodore of Aquarius from 1976 to 1978. He pioneered the sponsored sails in the 70s which resulted in the club raising over Ł1200 for the RLNI and his sailing cruiser was always our guard ship on Away Days at Hayling Island. Both he and Teresa worked very hard for the club and he will be deeply missed by all who knew him.

We are also very sad to learn of the sudden death of another long standing member, Tim Seward, who enjoyed sailing his Duckling at Aquarius. Our deepest sympathies go to his widow, Elizabeth, and her family.
