I can’t emphasize enough the importance of a good attendance at the meeting. The future strength of MYCQ is dependent on the support and shared contributions from all members, whether or not you are serving on a committee or sub- committee. There are exciting times ahead for our club. We are all very much aware of the growing multihull ownership within the yachting fraternity. Our challenge is to offer a diverse range of products (fun experiences) to those owners and crew so that they will be attracted to MYCQ. The more ideas that are floated, the more likely that we will find the right formula to grow. So come to our meetings and contribute! It has been an honour to serve as Commodore of MYCQ again this past year. I am very grateful for the support of so many members during that time, and of course, there have been a few who have served the club with distinction. All committee positions will be declared vacant at the AGM and a new committee elected. I indicate that I will be nominating again for the position of Commodore for the next year, and I will regard it as a sign of strength for the club if there are other nominations for Commodore. We need a strong committee! There are only a three events left on the 2016 calendar, They are the Christmas Party and Trophy Presentation night on the 3rd December followed by a cruise weekend and the Navigator’s Nightmare fun race. The previous two Christmas Parties have been a huge success, so don’t miss out! Plans are well under way for our 2017 and 2018 calendar. There will be something for everyone, cruisers, racers and social butterflies. 3 From the Editor Welcome to another edition of the MYCQ Multinews. This month we have a lot of content from members as well as a lot happening around the world to report on. There is an interesting cruise report from Tropical Cat and her trip up north. There was also the St Helena Cup and the Mooloolaba Weekend this month. An old advertiser has started supporting he MYCQ again. The Redland City Marina has placed a new advert and will also be advertising on our website. Please support our sponsors. This month sees the MYCQ AGM, so it would be good if all members attend and get involved in running the club. Another must attend event is the Christmas Party so I look forward to seeing you all there. Enjoy!
