Past Events
AGM, 11 July 1998 |

| The AGM was held at the Moreton Bay Trailer Boat Club. An excellent dinner was followed by the decision to incorporate Club Whittley Queensland. Albert Kleyn was elected as the new Commodore. |  |
| Slipping Sands, 26-27 September 1998 Our outing at Slipping Sands was quite successful. About 10 boats attended including the new 700. At 2pm we went to Koureyabba as the wind was quite strong making conditions uncomfortable. We all gathered for a barbecue dinner and a bit of socialising. It was a pleasant weekend. |
