Chairman’s
Chatter
I would like to open my first Chairman’s chatter with thanks to John Grimes who resigned after 3 years at the helm.
John worked extremely hard over the 3 years to promote the club not only locally but nationally. John has said that
he and his family will remain with the club and support it in all that it does.
I would also like to thank the previous committee who worked over last season again locally and nationally.
Following the AGM several new members were asked and accepted new positions on the committee and I look
forward to working with the new committee over the new season.
Simon Dowling has compiled an extensive social calendar for this season, the first of which will be the launching
supper / casino night to be held on Saturday 13th April in the Pavilion Room commencing at 7.30pm. Please try and
make an effort to attend this event and give Simon the support in his first event. Having talked with Simon he will be
setting up a sub-committee over the coming weeks and if you believe you are able to work with Simon please offer
your assistance.
Dan Dowling was appointed race organiser with his main focus being to establish a series of club races; Dan is working
on these events and will present his proposal to the next management meeting for ratification. As well as arranging
club races Dan has been tasked with organising the South West Regional race which is to be combined with the
Slipping out party towards the end of the season.
Again the club has been awarded a round of the National marathon series, the management team has agreed that
rather than the organising of this event is left to one person, a National race working party is to be formed to ensure
the smooth running of this event.
On the publicity front Chris Preece has agreed to carry out this function and Chris Reeves will assist and give Chris
Preece guidance on this important position. The two Chris’s have been very busy since the agm and I look forward to
reading the first issue of this seasons “SkiLine”. The club has now with Chris Reeves skills formed a “Twitter” and
“Facebook” page and will be using this form of social networking to promote the activities of the club along with the
more conventional ways.
That would appear to be all the news so far but I am sure more will be reported along with some of the antics of our
club members over the coming months, I look forward to see you all at our first function.

Presidents
Prattle
New committee and new season almost here (when it decides to stop snowing,2”
deep across the moors back from Glastonbury today) so with my membership hat on
, it’s time to ask for money and provide the reason why.
Must admit that although there are lots of benefits through the club and the Fed ,our
main attribute is our characters within the existing membership. We have happy
smiley, moaney groaney, rich and poor , pleasant/obnoxious and really something for
everyone. In seriousness we are a great bunch who enjoy socializing and have a
passion for being on the water whether racing or for fun.
We now have another 3 qualified regional Judges who will progress to full National
by the end of the year and a fully qualified set of coaches as well. In fact we are
totally prepared to hold events and teach anyone who wants to learn. We also have
many more fully qualified barflys who are extremely adept at getting the best out
poor weather scenarios or relaxing after good weather efforts on the water.
Our tractor is now being prepared for the season and hopefully it will be sorted as
soon as it comes off the prom at the end of this year , so it’s not such a mad rush as
this year. Many thanks to Rob Jenkins for his efforts.
Hopefully this year with the dynamic Dowling in charge there will be plenty of events
to meet at and we hope the National race in June will be one of the highlights.
Obviously we need to make money on everything as we still need to support the
tractor! So please support the raffles etc.
Unfortunately I have no gossip or giggles yet (apart from the fact I’m 65 next month)
but I promise someone is bound to cock up in time for the next issue.
Have fun and be safe.
