LIFE MEMBERS LUNCHEON | ‘OUR WISE MEN’
VALE | GRAHAM MARK TOSTEVIN
We are very lucky at the Cruising Yacht Club of South Australia as we now have double the quota of wise men with six instead of the traditional three. At the Annual General Meeting Andrew Saies and Craig Evans were granted Life Membership joining current members Dick Fidock, Graeme Footer, Geoff Catt and John Gerard. While living with the COVID pandemic has been restrictive it made it possible for the whole group to get together at a luncheon at the Club on Saturday 27 September. Commodore Jacq Heffernan and President Dominic Rinaldi welcomed the two ‘newbies’ and then left them to do their talking and what a talk fest it must have been.
Mark Tostevin departed this world peacefully on Tuesday 13 October 2020 at the age of 91 years. He was one of the founding members of the Club joining the group in early 1973 and held Foundation Membership Number Three. His participation and counsel during those formative years was appreciated and our condolences go to his family for their loss.
The senior member of the group, Dick Fidock at 91 years of age, was one of the key founding fathers of the CYCSA and put together our Constitution which forms the basis of how our Club works. Together the six men embody our history and tradition as they hold 200 plus years of membership and service to the Club within them and their counsel is something the Club should utilise while it can. The luncheon was very successful and they have all committed to making it an annual calendar event at the Club and hopefully in the future they will be joined by future deserving Life Members.
