David Lane, RQYS’s 2017 Club Member of the Year has over many years contributed in many ways to the running of the Squadron. He has held a number of Committee positions and is a long term on-water patrol vessel skipper. He is often sought out for his professional advice within the different departments of the Squadron and is always happy to help wherever he can. When there are extraordinary events and volunteers are needed he will happily jump in and give 150% to the project whatever that may be.

Congratulations David, we are a very lucky club to have you on board as a member and a volunteer!
