The Westerly Owners' Association - The Commodore's Clock

Award of The Commodore's Clock
National AGM 31st January 2011

The 'Commodore's Clock' was awarded to Gary McGuire for his work and encouragement to re-invigorate the Ireland Group. Gary was unable to attend the National AGM but a week later, at The Ireland Area Group AGM, Commodore Bernard Clarke presented him with the award.

The Commodore's Clock

The Commodore's Clock was donated to the Association at the beginning of 1990 by the retiring Commodore Mike Williams, to be awarded each year "to the person who, in the opinion of the Flag Officers, has made the best contribution to the Association". In that first year it was presented to Brian Watson, and has since been awarded annually in recognition of a great variety of exceptional services to the Association.
