OGA AGM

Dashed from the boat show to the Cruising Association HQ in Limehouse for the AGM. Missed the financial report and weren't last!

We tried to go last year but the trains were messed up. I wasn't sure what to expect but it was great. Got to meet several people new to us and get a flavour of the Solent region. There are more commercially minded people in the Solent and this seems to cause some friction with the folks at the opposite end of the spectrum.

The "big thing" was the discussion around the celebrations for the 50th anniversary in 2013. There is a struggle here between the imperatives of funding, the opportunity for publicity and the need to be inclusive of all the existing members.

I think we need a better way of keeping in touch.
