the sad demise of our Miss A Punt, C.D.Y.C. Her end was not sudden.She had become trapped under the pontoon and ripped her body apart and broke her back. We think it was a cry for help that came too late! Paul and I have genly winched her on to the hammerhead , where she lies in a state waiting for the undertaking workboat to transport her to the club house side for disposal, (burial or cremation?)No flowers by request and donations in lieu to Reuben Howes Hon Treasurer C.D.Y.C. please make cheques out to "The New Baby Punt" fund. This senior Punt has served the Club for over 25 years neglected and uncomplaining. Always ready to ferry members to their yachts she will be well remembered for her faithful service and to one member in particular, Hugh Janson who had cause to use her more than most, especially on a Tuesday of practically every week of the year,they had a special relationship!Just ask him about her sculling block! Farewell Miss A Punt. I cannot type anymore, I`m filling up!
Darrell F Holland, Commodore C.D.Y.C.

Thank you for your condolences! But you can raise your Burgee to the top of the mast. A renovated punt is now on station, the punts & jettycrew pulled out all the stops and finished the renovation work on the number 2 punt and launched it today.
