GUEST SPEAKER – Wayne - again!!!
Chatted about the President meeting he attended on behalf of President David, mentioned all the dates for meetings, training etc. Talked a bit about the RI convention in June, there is no District Conference in 2018, however, the District Governor changeover is during the RI convention and will be at the Royal Canadian Yacht Club on Toronto Island June 23rd.
Apologies to Tina, as she accepted the roll of RI Convention delegate for the club but all these meetings bring up different points and Jeremy and I have both spoken about it - sorry Tina for stealing your thunder
Next speakers: Brad Cox - getting to the Bahamas by sailboat
Will Pugh - RI Convention
