As a prelude to the bonfire night celebrations, the first prize giving for the youth squad was held this evening
Vice Commodore Dave Nicholson gave a short speech outlining the (short) history of the squad, and prizes were given out by his wife Pauline. There was one consistent and outstanding winner for the season, Jo Watkins who won the Kirkpatrick Prize (Youth Championship winner), Watson Shield (Saturday Series), Rhonwen Bryce Youth Cup (Sunday Series), Night Jar A Youth Tankard, and Night Jar B Youth Tankard (Thursday evening series)
The Lucca Trophy an endeavour trophy for the young person that was always down here practising and racing went to Ethan Dawson
Unfortunately the rain came in after the prize giving so lighting the bonfire, and the fireworks, proved challenging
