____________________________________________________________________________________________________________Lead and Line PRESIDENT'S MESSAGE by Michael Morres Thank you to all of you who came out to our September lunch and made it the success that it was – we had a very large turnout, a good speaker and, judging by all the comments received, our new location seems to be a winner. The Program Committee will be looking at a few things that perhaps need re-thinking, such as table layout and podium position, and will be working with the Fireside Grill staff to make everything work better as we go along. We will also be looking into the acquisition of a sound system, as I know some of those at the back had a bit of difficulty hearing the speaker. Again, thanks are due to David Winkler and Stan Brygadyr for suggesting this venue, and to Kathie Csomany and her team for making it happen. I‘m sure most of you know the standard definition of a Wardroom argument – ―Flat Statement, followed by Flat Contradiction, followed by Personal Abuse‖; but I am very happy to say that none of this happened during our discussion about the forthcoming name change of the national organization from NOAC to NAC (The Naval Association of Canada). Views from all sides were presented in what I thought was a most considerate manner, and the vote to accept the name change was passed with a very large majority. We must now move ahead to consider whether this national name should be reflected in the name of our own organization, and whether we feel that any changes to our membership criteria will be warranted or desired in our pursuit of our aims. I have had some letters and emails on the subject already, and I do hope that the Executive will hear from more of you in the coming weeks. Remember our email addresses are always listed in Lead and Line! I do emphasise that nothing will happen overnight, and not without consultation with as many of our membership that wish to be consulted! Yours aye, Mike A BIG THANK YOU TO: (1) Associate Member DAVID NICHOLSON & Queensbury Securities for their continuing financial support toward helping us pay for the printing of Lead & Line each month. (2) Kelly McKernan of Oak Bay Copy Centre over the past nearly 20 years for doing such a fine job printing Lead & Line with her high definition photo-printer and giving NOAVI a special printing discount. STARSHELL Editor George Moore at < starshell@shaw.ca >reports that deadline for the Autumn issue of the NOAC newsletter STARSHELL is 15 October (and not 19 September as indicated in his last STARSHELL). CUT OFF DATE FOR CONTRIBUTIONS TO THE NOVEMBER LEAD & LINE IS WEDNESDAY 26 OCTOBER COMMEMORATIVE HMCS HAIDA AND 100 YEAR RCN ANNIVERSARY WATCHES Friends of HMCS Haida have commissioned Time Is Ticking Inc. to produce a limited edition commemorative Seiko movement, 24 karat gold plated watch to reflect the great heritage of ―The Fightingest Ship‖ in the Royal Canadian Navy.
