Celebrating Our 50th AGM!

Writer's picture: campbellgardnercampbellgardner

Yesterday evening, the Cockle Island Boat Club proudly held its 50th Annual General Meeting, a significant milestone in the club’s history (with just one AGM missed due to Covid). The meeting reflected both our rich tradition and the strong sense of community that continues to define the club.


The event was well-attended, with 40 members gathering to review the past year’s achievements, discuss future plans, and participate in the election of Flag Officers and Committee Members for 2025. Reports were presented by the Honorary Treasurer and Honorary Secretary, offering members valuable insights into the club’s activities, finances, and strategic direction.


We extend our deepest gratitude to our presiding officer, Jim Howells, whose steady guidance ensured the smooth running of the evening’s proceedings. A heartfelt thank you also goes to our outgoing Commodore, Harry Patterson, whose leadership has been instrumental over the past year.


Special thanks are due to John Cathcart, Gary Warke, and Michael McSorley, who have now retired from the committee. Their dedication and contributions over the years have been greatly appreciated, leaving a lasting impact on the club.


Looking ahead, we are excited to introduce the Flag Officers and Committee Members for 2025, pictured below. We are also delighted to welcome new committee members Clair Trimble and Lex McCoubrey, whose fresh perspectives and enthusiasm will undoubtedly strengthen our team. With their leadership, we are confident that Cockle Island Boat Club will continue to thrive and provide outstanding opportunities for sailing and fellowship.


Here’s to another year of adventure on the water and camaraderie among our members. Thank you to everyone who attended and contributed to making this milestone AGM a success!
