17/01/12 'GYBE OH' In a year when a number of our dinghy regattas are not taking place there may be time to look back on the results and reports of police regattas from the past - Well from the past, when regattas were supported much more than our present events. The contents of the newsletters, although mainly based on regattas and events attended by the Met, may remind you of old colleagues albeit there are some names mentioned that can be found in present-day results! Even then there were concerns that our regattas could be better supported. Nothing changes.. There are now seven
MPSC newsletters from the 1980's
available to view - with the possibility of more being added. |
