The OGA at Fifty-
Gathering the Jewels
The OGA will be 50 in 2013 and we are celebrating
this milestone with a book, setting out some of the memorable people and
events of the last fifty years.
The format for is that it should be interesting and informative and
light-hearted where appropriate.
We are
looking for material such as articles from Gaffers Logs or other
magazines and publications or accounts of sailing logs and other
interesting events. And perhaps especially, profiles of interesting
members, particularly those no longer with us. Photographs and illustrations will be very
welcome but please include all relevant information. Anecdotes and reminiscences are of
course the real jewels.
Please encourage older and younger members to write them down! We need a good reservoir of sailing stories!
This will also pull together the numerous parts of the OGA archive
currently scattered around the country, preparatory to finding a
repository for the long term benefit of future Old Gaffers. All contributions and suggestions
may be sent by post (see Year Book) or email to-
