Many will know Stewart through his long association with the Drascombe range of boats, not only as the area rep and energetic organiser and supporter of rallies, but also in his day job as the owner of Churchouse Boats, building and maintaining the craft at his based near Andover.
Stewart made an entertaining speech and, thankfully, shows no sign of reducing his presence at rallies and other events but gave his reasons for his resignation from the Committee. He introduced his successor, David Moss, another local enthusiastic Drascomber, who made a short introduction and I'm sure will be an excellent representative.
Jim Hopwood then said a few words, which included a comment about Stewart's headgear which it had been noted and a number of rallies last year was looking a bit tired so a replacement was presented to him.
I think the aim was to prevent him being able to kiss any women......
A more formal presentation was made to Stewart in recognition of his support, drive and enthusiasm over the years.
The wind vane representation of a Drifter 22 seemed a fitting gift for the man who is Mr Drascombe.
