Sad News - update

Postby SueDyer » January 29th, 2017, 9:04 pm

With much sadness we announce the passing of Les Holmberg who had been our President and Club Member for more years than most can remember.
He passed peacefully away at home on Friday 27 January 2017 with his family around him.
Our thoughts and sincere condolences go to Mrs. Holmberg and all the Holmberg family at this sad time.
A service to Celebrate his long Life will be held at 3pm on Thursday 16th February at the Crematorium.

Most of us joined the club after Les stopped racing dinghies but his name is all over our trophies. Les won 81 cups between 1951 and 1981 in an era when the club didn't have nearly as many cups as they do now.
Who's the more foolish; the fool or the fool who follows him?
