In
the
uproar following this presentation, we realized how
much we missed our
usual MC, Mike Codd, and his wife, Darlene. Darlene
and Mike had just
finished making the many preparations for our AGM as
they always do so
well, when they fell ill and could not attend. Uncle
Al did remember to
award the Lansdown Spittoon to Peter Ayres
(W1191) in absentia,
complete with the traditional story of how the
Spittoon was won. But no
one remembered to present the Storer Trophy
(behind George's
hands) to Uncle Al, his son, David, Marc Bennett and
Frank Goulay, who
this year accomplished the rare feat of winning all
four major North
American Wayfarer events: the Ontarios, the Canadian
and U.S. Nationals
plus a share of the North Americans.
