28th January 2011

 
The annual prize giving dinner of the Cruising Group took place on 28th January. A record 128 members and friends enjoyed an excellent meal and a most convivial evening followed when no doubt some tentative plans for the coming season were discussed.

Joe Phelan of Lydia was awarded the Jim Menton Trophy for The Best Log (adjudicated by Cyril Geran, last years winner). Pat Murphy received the Donald Skehan Memorial Trophy in recognition of his outstanding contribution to sailing (adjudicated by Berchmans Gannon, last years recipient).

Dara Lowry received the Ken Moles Gauntlet Challenge Trophy on behalf of the 'Arcturus 2 Team' as winners of Gary McGuire's Table Quiz which also took place on the night.

New members to the Cruising Group are always welcome.
