QUINTE DISTRICT
RENDEZVOUS 2008 & ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING
BOATING
ON THE BAY
Our squadron is hosting the District Rendezvous and AGM on Friday &
Saturday May 30th & 31st and Sunday June 1st. We invite
our members to join us for “Boating on the Bay” weekend of
activities. The District consists of squadrons from RCAF Trenton,
Ajax, Oshawa, Peterborough, Lindsay, Bay of Quinte and Prince Edward
County. The last time we hosted the event was on June 6, 1997.
Those of you who come on Friday evening are welcome to join the
Wings Night at the CFB Trenton Yacht Club. The cost is $4 for 6
wings, potato wedge fries and salad. After the wings feast, we are
organizing a ‘Sunset Cruise’ on the Bay, followed by dessert back at
the Yacht Club.
On Saturday the On-the-Water Competition will run from the CFB
Trenton Yacht Club in the morning and afternoon, with a break for a
BBQ lunch. District Bridge Member Simon Taylor is busy preparing
custom-designed predicted log and navigation trials for the
competition, and we hope to have at least one team from each
Squadron compete. Also, Simon will run a briefing on Saturday
morning for teams who may not have competed before, or need
reminding of the rules. The lunch break BBQ on the Yacht Club deck
will serve a Windmill sausage or a hamburger, with trimmings and a
beverage. We have ideal waters to run these types of competitions,
and it’s a great opportunity to brush up your navigation skills
early in the season. Sailboats can compete as well as power boats,
and currently RCAF Trenton holds the Edwards and Richardson
trophies, both won by sailors.
For people who are not competing in the boating trials, there will a
Prince Edward County Tour that will stop for lunch at one of our
noted County restaurants (pay your own lunch cost). Alternatively,
the very interesting RCAF Museum and Air Park is close by the Yacht
Club, and we will arrange a hosted tour in the afternoon. The cost
is free and the museum welcomes donations. (You can of course visit
the museum on your own schedule if you prefer).
On Saturday evening, “BBQ on Wheels” will prepare a delicious dinner
at Baker’s Island Community Center. There will be a silent auction
of crafts and other locally sourced items, followed by a Monte Carlo
Night that will include Blackjack, Crown and Anchor and Roulette.
Bring your money and be a winner!
On Sunday morning our squadron members will use their culinary
skills and cook you a big breakfast at the Yacht Club. The District
AGM will follow, in the Yacht Club.
