Snippets from Club History - 1919
23/1/2019
A few snippets gleaned from Ed Wheeler's Pictorial History of the Club.
1919 - The Club was attempting to resume a semblance of pre-war activities. The Minutes show good co-operation with the Ballyholme Sailing Club (not yet Ballyholme Yacht Club) in the matter of starting guns, co-ordination of fixtures etc. This is Ballyholme YC's Centenary Year - long may the good co-operation contiunue!
