Ian Winder

By the time you read this many of you will already know that sadly Ian passed away in the early hours of 18th February.

In common with many of you I have known Ian for close to 20 years and have always regarded him as a dear friend who will be greatly missed by many.

Ian did lots for the Club over the years including serving as Commodore and Cruise Captain amongst other things. I will never forget him as Cruise Captain managing to find, in Calais at short notice, a restaurant to cater for eighty people!

For a time Ian became known to us as 'Windy Tours' owing to the extended cruising he and Ann did in Holland and Normandy in company with John and Carol Cross where Ian loved to lead the way. Vee and I were privileged to join them for a couple of weeks in each of those places. During one of these cruises Carol produced a bright red 'Windy Tours' burgee which Ian proudly flew at the crosstrees.

Fortunately Vee and I have many fond memories of Ian but his passing leaves a large void in our circle of friends.

Cliff Howell - Commodore
