years our reserves will disappear very quickly if we can’t increase our<br />
income.<br />
Please get involved in assisting where you can, manning support<br />
boats including Scout, race management, bar <strong>and</strong> canteen, cleaning the<br />
change rooms <strong>and</strong> concrete ramp or anything you see that needs to be done.<br />
Have a good winter <strong>and</strong> get all those boat repairs completed well in<br />
time for the new season.<br />

Social Committee <strong>Report</strong><br />
It has been a great season off the water as well with the Social<br />
Committee hosting several events. This year we endeavoured to introduce<br />
some new ideas while keeping our much-loved traditions in place.<br />
The Yuletide Evening <strong>and</strong> Presentation Night were well attended <strong>and</strong><br />
enjoyed. Santa’s appearance this year was a particular highlight providing<br />
plenty of laughs for both kids <strong>and</strong> adults. The Curry Night <strong>and</strong> Mexican<br />
Fiesta added some variety while the old-fashioned barbeque evenings<br />
remained popular. The Duck Race Dinner allowed celebrations <strong>and</strong><br />
commiseration following the inaugural Great <strong>Abbotsford</strong> Duck Race. Also<br />
our Pizza <strong>and</strong> Movie night was enjoyed <strong>and</strong> appreciated by our families<br />
<strong>and</strong> younger members. Hopefully there was something for everyone!<br />
These opportunities to enjoy the beautiful setting of our clubhouse<br />
<strong>and</strong> the friendships among club members would not be possible without<br />
our wonderful team of volunteers who plan, prepare <strong>and</strong> serve meals <strong>and</strong><br />
clean up afterwards. My sincere thanks to Chantelle Munday, Gai Dewane,<br />
Val Hill, Lisa Hill, Debbie Bell <strong>and</strong> Peter Hill for their efforts. Thank you<br />
also to those members who contributed food or their time at these events<br />
to ensure everything ran smoothly.<br />

Canteen <strong>and</strong> Bar <strong>Report</strong><br />
The bar <strong>and</strong> canteen trading was slightly up on last year. The bar<br />
had a surplus of $3,646 while the canteen made a profit of $2,999. Our<br />
sales received a welcome boost by the number of Sea Scouts who joined<br />
our club to race their boats in our racing fleets. They were always very<br />
hungry at lunchtime.<br />
