• One fellowship meeting held in October in Liverpool. Not very well attended as two members were also District Governors in 2019/20 and had DG duties that weekend. Bridge meeting held virtually which was a novel experience for some but with hindsight, good practice for Covid lockdown!

• Fleets in South of England & Scotland doing well but issues with others.

• As DG, supported the RYA Sailability scheme, including having a quadriplegic trans-Atlantic sailor at District Conference.

• Sail-Over (to Cowes, Isle of Wight) lunch at the Royal Yacht Squadron in aid of Ellen MacArther Cancder Trust attended by Immediate Past Commodore Peter.

• Then came Covid-19

• Fellowship meetings in April & October 2020 cancelled

• Sailing only just opening up in England (Scotland, Wales & Northern Ireland have different rules)

• Grant awarded to North Wales Fleet delayed due to current lockdown in UK

• Still need to recruit a Vice Commodore & Rear Commodore
