Middle Harbour Yacht Club

Ms FELICITY WILSON (North Shore) (23:14:27):

Congratulations to Middle Harbour Yacht Club on its eightieth anniversary. On 21 June the club celebrated its formation in 1939, when two sailors, Togo Middows and George Griffin, together with an enthusiastic group of sailors, formed the Middle Harbour Cruising Yacht Association. Over the years the club has grown and established a reputation for quality and for producing some of the best and talented sailors. On that night we were fortunate enough to be joined by the renowned Tom Burlinson and his swing band. The money raised on the evening will go to the Middle Harbour Yacht Club Foundation, with the aim of creating a permanent fund to be administered independently from the club to preserve and develop future assets. The money raised will also go towards the Frank Likely Youth Academy of Sailing, with awards being granted to a wide variety of recipients to support deserving young sailors learning to sail and to those who need support in higher-level competitions. I offer my thanks in particular to Commodore Peter Lewis and to the committee for hosting this fantastic evening. I look forward to seeing you soon.
