The motion
That this House notes with pride 90 years of Strangford Yacht Club, situated in Whiterock Bay, close to Killinchy and with unparalleled access to Strangford Lough, one of the best locations in Northern Ireland for sailing and boating; celebrates its foundation in 1934 with the first annual general meeting of the Snipe Sailing Club at Whiterock and the official opening of the first clubhouse in 1935; underlines the diverse nature of the club as they sail all types of boats, including dinghies, wooden boats, cruisers as well as motor boats, and that they are also developing their facilities for other water sports, such as paddle boarding; further notes the work of Commodore Fiona Chamberlain who goes above and beyond to serve the yacht club; and wishes Fiona and the club all the best for the future.
