The Commodore of Ely Sailing Club, Andy Wilcox, welcomed 52 club members and guests to the club house on Saturday evening for the Annual Prize Giving and Laying Up Supper. He introduced the Commodores from Cam and Paxton Lakes Sailing Clubs and gave a short resume of past events.

After a delightful supper prepared by the Hog Roast Catering Company and desserts by club members, the prize giving took place.
