Elwood Seahorse Annual Reunion & Dinner Tuesday 8th November

Ahoy there all Elwood sailors, past & present!

ESC Commodore and Elwood Seahorse Oldboys President John Dodd cordially invites all current and former ESC members to the annual Elwood Seahorse Reunion & Dinner at the clubrooms from 6pm on Tuesday 8th November.

Our planned special guest, Australian Olympic sailing team member and former ESC junior champion Krystal Weir, has unfortunately had to cancel but John Dodd assures me that he has another celebrity speaker waiting in the wings, chafing at the bit to entertain you! (Hopefully it wont be his holiday slides again…). He is withholding the identity of the mystery special guest to build suspense and sell some more tickets, but I am told all will soon be revealed!

Please find attached the 2011 Seahorse Newsletter and invitation to the dinner.
