It’s SAILING SEASON on the Barren’
This special year marks the 50th anniversary of the club charter which was drafted and incorporated in September 1966.
Thanks to the vision and perseverance of the founders, the club was formed and nurtured through infancy until it got on its feet a few years later. The revival, as it became known, was in 1971. It was decided to continue under the original charter of 1966, so this is officially our 50th Anniversary.
For those who are passionate about sailing, the 1966 birth of POYC should be hailed as the greatest thing that happened around here!
Let’s get out on the lake and make this a year our founders would be proud of!
We had a great time at Cambridge Market, many thanks to our Social committee of Frank and Carol Kersting and to Rob Hatcher and Son, who provided the entertainment.. Thanks also due to our Commodore Gary Reimer who created the awards and to all who attended and helped. We had a full complement attend.
