Changes made to the MMYC website and announced on the News page are retired here after a couple of months. Some of the information in this archive may have been superseded by more recent changes, although we endeavour to delete anything that is blatantly contradictory!
Club News Archive 5 March 2005 Looking back, MMYC celebrated its 30th anniversary year in 2004 and among many highlights, the Commodore's Sailpast was graced by the Mayor of Medway Councillor Susan Haydock. Commodore Bob Jennings also represented the club at several official events up and down the river, as well as waving the MMYC flag at the Maidstone River Festival. Club members as usual cruised far and wide. Excluding those who keep boats abroad, members cruised the East and South Coasts of Britain, and Holland, Belgium and France. The club itself held several cruises, the best-attended being to Ramsgate over the August Holiday where the contingent was swelled by a considerable number of members rendezvousing on their return from more distant parts. A major event for 2005 is to join the spectator fleet accompanying the Dunkirk Little Ships on their cruise to Dunkerque commemorating 65 years since their original daring voyage to help lift 240,000 British and 95,000 French servicemen off the beaches under enemy fire. The MMYC contingent will be led by the Commodore, himself a Dunkirk veteran. See this gallery for pictures from our return in 2000. Web Site Update Archive 1 June 2004 Addition to the programme - the clubnight and supper on 1 October will feature guest speaker Judith Sweatman, a senior manager from HM Customs & Excise Maritime & Aviation Intelligence Unit. Don't be late! 21 March 2004 A photo of Past Commodore Mike Wilkin presenting the Commodore's Medal to the new Commodore Bob Jennings at the Commodore's Welcome Party. (See how many times can you fit the word "Commodore" into a single sentence...?) 17 March 2004 The Annual Dinner Dance will be held one week later than previously advertised, on Friday 19 December. Also, we will celebrate the Club's 30th Anniversary at this year's Commodore's Sailpast on 18 September. 1 March 2004 Correction of typos on the dates of both events in November in the previous presentation of the 2004 programme. Whoops! 28 February 2004 The new Commodore and his team extend a warm welcome to MMYC's 30th Anniversary Year to members and all our boating friends! Also see the club's provisional programme for 2004. The Commodore Bob Jennings at Dunkerque in 2000:
Following the success of the club in 2003, the membership fees 'loyalty bonus' has been retained for 2004/05. 20 May 2003 Some stills from the heated Paper Boat Race during our annual Open Weekend in May. We have also added links to the three main UK chart correction services, Admiralty, Imray and Stanfords, which we hope you find useful. 29 April 2003 A selection of photos from St Kats during brilliant weather over Easter 2003. 25 April 2003 A collection of new links to other interesting websites has been added. 1 April 2003 Small but perfectly formed! This year MMYC has become something of a workers' collective and we are running with a small management team instead of the traditional squadron of officers and committee. Despite the misnomer, see the Officers page for details of the new team. Despite such a quality force, the club could not run without a large band of willing helpers, the members! Also take a look at the outline programme for
the year. |
