Neville Fenwick
We were extremely sad to learn of the recent death of Neville Fenwick, our Commodore from 1995-1998
Grid Iron, the Scottish Theatre company paid him this tribute:
Neville was a brilliant carpenter and set builder and worked on many Grid Iron shows.
He took even our most unusual requests in his stride, from being asked to sink fence posts along a half-mile stretch of pathway in Alloway to constructing a gigantic spider (a homage to Louise Bourgeois’ Maman) in Dundee’s Verdant Works. While those requests would often be met with a quizzical, ‘are you sure?’ look, he always delivered with his signature skill and panache.
A gentle, talented, interesting and interested man, he was one of a kind, and will be missed.

Warning: it was a very windy day!

Edinburgh Regatta Results
Because of the tragic and untimely death of a very popular member of the club at the beginning of the second day’s racing that it was decided to abandon all racing for that day. The series results are therefore based on the first day’s results alone.
Our condolences go out to his loved ones and wish them a speedy recovery from their grief at this time. He will be sadly missed at the club
