 07/08 Presidents ReportPresidents Report for Sailability Pittwater 2008/09 season. I am pleased to report on yet another successful season for Sailability Pittwater.There have been many highlights, including Allan Jones becoming President of Sailability NSW, an organization he has served for many years as well as beingour Commodore and chief organizer since our beginning. I am personally elated that we finally got the money required to build the storage shed at Rowland Reserve, which will make our whole operation there much easier,as well as giving us a base for training and socializing. Special thanks to Malcolm, Ian and Barry, for all the hard work getting the slab laid. We alsohope that Pittwater Council will have erected the new shade at Rowland Reserve before the new season starts, as they also received funding for this from NSWDSR. The plan is to dedicate this to the memory of Janice Jones in recognition of the tireless work she did for many, but our group in particular. Under some hardship we did manage to stage the 2009 State Titles at Lake Wallace, however this did put undue stress on our volunteer team, due to the unexpected manpower shortage from the local group. It is a good venue, especially for the social activities, and should be greatly improved with good facilities at the lake. I am loath to single out anyone, however I cannot overlook the outstanding efforts ofMalcolm Murray in so many areas of our operations. He coordinated and keeps updated our Operation Manual, which is seen as a model for the organization,has modified our 303 trailer to be much safer to carry boats on long trips, taught a few of us to tie proper knots, run some excellent training sessions on boat rigging, ensures new volunteers are properly briefed and many more. You are great asset to our group. All this is only possible through the generous support from our Volunteers and our Committee Members meeting regularly to keep things on track.
