Commodore’s Message- January 2011
Hello Fellow Boaters !
Let me first wish you, rather belatedly, a Happy New Year, and I hope the festive season was all you had hoped for.
Your L.P.B.Y.C. executive have met three times since our year end banquet last September, and we have developed a calendar of events that we hope you will find favourable.
Our first scheduled event is the Winter Rendezvous, on Sunday, Feb. 13th at 12:00 Noon at the Erie Beach Hotel, in the Capri Room. We have arranged to have a display of new boat electronics set up, from Bridge Marine, and also an Audio-Visual Display of the Port Dover “Learn to Sail” Program. I have met with Janet Blackburn of the Marina Office and will give an overview of that discussion. I am looking forward to seeing you all again, as we anticipate another boating season. The rest of the events are as follows, with more information to be posted on our web-site and on the bulletin board in the Marina building closer to the event.

Your Commodore,
Alastair Robertson
