Our thanks to the Association of Thames Yacht Clubs for arranging the Spring Ball this year at the Runnymede Hotel & Spa in Chertsey.

​It was very well attended and as usual the Albany members, who I think scrub up rather well, had a great evening!! Thank you all for making it a truly fun event.

This year we held our annual Christmas dinner at the Kingfisher, Chertsey, which was again well attended with some 30 lunches having been booked. It's great to get back to the normality of meeting in person and socialising - something that it feels we relegated to zoom for far too long!

Following on from our AGM in November, flags of office were exchanged, with David Gilbert (Left) standing down as Commodore for the past two years, Tony Rogers (centre) and John Cochrane (right) stepping up as Commodore and Vice Commodore respectively for 2023.

Other changes saw Sally Chiverton become Secretary, taking over from Ann Marshall.
