Meeting Location: Nashua Country Club, Nashua, NH

Attendees: 14 members with 8 boats represented.

The general meeting was called to order at 11:50am by the Vice-Commodore, Bob Chase.

Opening remarks included an explanation that the Foshay's were still down on Chesapeake Bay sailing. The Chases, Denisons, Foshays, Cloughs and Bob Ahler and Carol Mosely were all at the Annapolis Boat Show. (Bob and Carol had also brought their boat.) Bob and Linda said that the Annapolis show was huge and there were lots of boats sailing into the show on their way south for the winter. A rendezvous there next year might be nice..

Treasurer’s report: Barbara Garland handed out treasurers reports. There is $978 in our account and we currently have 75 members.

We discussed a new MacGregor web page macgregorowners.com. The format is different from the sailnet list. This involves questions and a series of answers. The list will be archived for future reference. There is a for sale section and olios sections on things common to all boats.

We also discussed interesting magazines including "Good Old Boat" and "Points East".
