Commodore’s Cup
Roger Darbyshire has been awarded the Commodore’s Cup this year in recognition of his voluntary work and input into the weekly Improver’s Group on Sundays.
He took on the group a couple of years ago and has been a great help and support to our new and inexperience sailors, helping to build their confidence and skills.
