2017 has been a sad year for the club, as we have lost many of our cherished members; Roger Francis (March), Joyce Lundberg (May), Terry Carthew and Tarik Sateh (September) and Margery Quick (November). So we hope for a better 2018.
The Commodore and Members of Weybridge Mariners Club would like to wish you all a very happy and prosperous New Year.

The club is extremely sad to announce the death of one of its long term members, Terry Carthew, who passed away peacefully on Monday evening with his wife Jenny at his side.
Terry and Jenny had been very active members of the club, since joining in 1982. Terry had been a very supportive member, being Maintenance Manager for several years from 1983, and Bar Manager from 1995-1999.
We would like to offer our sincere condolences, and our thoughts are with Jenny and family at this extremely sad time.

The club is sad to announce that our highly regarded and dearly loved Honorary Life Member, Joyce Lundberg, passed away peacefully on Wednesday 31st May at 5.00pm in the afternoon, surrounded by her family.

The recent St George's Day Lunch that took place at the club, on Sunday 23rd April, has been hailed as the best St George's celebration ever held at the club! All of the helpers did a fantastic job in making the day so successful. A wonderful meal was served; prawn cocktail, roast beef with all the trimmings, followed by various home made puddings, cheese and biscuits. Entertainment was then provided by a pair singing traditional Chas and Dave songs.
The next event will be the Commodore's Meet and Greet Reception on Sunday 7th May. This is an excellent opportunity to make new boating friends and to renew old acquaintance's.

Weybridge Mariners were very sorry to hear of the death of David Sowter, who passed away on 20th December. David was a past member of Weybridge Mariners for many years, and was also a Committee member. David's death was very sudden, after a fairly short spell in hospital.
Our thoughts are with David's family at this incredibly sad time.

Weybridge Mariners were very sorry to hear of the tragic death of one of its members, John Mason, who sadly passed away the other day after sustaining a fall, whilst working on his boat.
Our thoughts are with John's family at this incredibly sad time.

and the winner is...
The Aubretia Cup is awarded every year to someone who has done a lot of work for the club.
Apart from the committee, very few members will realise how much work this year's winner has put in on the club's behalf.
... He regularly checks the fire alarms and security lighting, deals with all the official inspections of the electrics, kitchen and fire extinguishers, and has recently been dealing with the fitting of smoke alarms in the undercroft and clubhouse, and the installation of a direct line to a call centre in case of fire when nobody is in the building. All of these things, we are sure that you will all agree, are essential for the safety of the club and its members.
This years winner is our health and safety officer, Brian Carter.
Many congratulations on your well deserved win Brian!
