Squib Class Annual Prizegiving Dinner
 
The Squib class held its annual prizegiving dinner recently, with a good turnout from across the fleet for a relaxed and fun evening. The Commodore, Kevin Monks, attended and noted how the Squib class is particularly well represented on the General Committee and other volunteer roles within the club. 
 
 
The class’s impressive array of trophies was presented by the Commodore across the fleet. In SCR, Kerfuffle (Emmet Dalton and Neal Merry) topped the Tuesday Series, finishing first in Series 1, 2 and 3. Tears in Heaven (Tom McMahon and Jill Somerville) were 2nd in Series 1 and 3, while Kaizen (Ronan McDonell) came 2nd in Series 2. Kaizen went on to win the Tuesday mini series on scratch followed by Tears in Heaven in 2nd place. 
 
 
Saturday Series 1 and 2 were won by Crackertoo (Jeff and Stephen Kay) while Halloween (Ger Loughran and Ross Hattaway) were the winners of Series 3.
 
In HPH, Tuesday Series 1 and 2 were won by Aurora (Killian O’Kelly and Kay Cornally). Tuesday Series 3 went to Halloween who also won Saturday Series 1 & 2 on HPH while Series 3 HPH went to Tears for Fears (Niall Monks). 
 
 
Tuesday mini series HPH was won by Tears for Fears. HPH 2nd place prizes were awarded to Tais (Carol Cribben and Mags Ward), Halloween and Fantôme (Suzanne Barry and Caroline O’Kelly).   
 
Our enjoyable evening concluded the 2025 season with 2026 promising an increase in numbers with a new squib recently joining the fleet and club boat to be chartered on a regular basis.
