Joan Bray and her family will be coming to Aquarius for the naming of our Graduate 2406 dinghy in memory of George Bray who unfortunately passed away last year.
George had been a member of Aquarius from shortly after the club's formation in 1948. Joan met George and became a member soon afterwards. They were the backbone of the club, working tirelessly for the club until they retired from active duties a few years ago.
It should be a fine day with a 6 mph NW wind.
The programme is as follows:
11:00 and 12:00 Races as usual
12.45 Enhanced barbecue
14:00 Naming ceremony at the slip downstream of the clubhouse followed by the launching of GEORGE
George and Joan's grandson, Ollie, will sail the graduate flanked by other Aquarius boats
Please have your boat on the water, with sails up if weather permits, for this event
15:00 Special Celebratory Tea
16:00 The 15:30 race delayed start
