PLIMMERTON CLUB

The annual general meeting of the Plimmerton Boating Club was held last Saturday. The report showed that the club had had a successful racing year and had won a number of important events held under the jurisdiction of the local association- The first monotype race to be sailed in New Zealand was conducted by the club, which, also won the first provincial monotype championship. Membership had been well maintained and the financial position was satisfactory. Reference was made to the new Paremata Bridge and its strengthening influence on the club, and also to the interest created by the yachting competition between Plimmerton and Paremata.

• Several new members were elected, and the prospects for a successful season were considered excellent. This young club is making rapid progress in the boating world and two new boats are to be added to its already large fleet. They are to be a 14ft Rona-Jellicoe and a 12ft 6in Takapuna.
