The current members serving on the committee are profiled below

	Jonathan Saunders - Chairman Jonathan had 5 fantastic years in boating but is currently taking a break for a variety of reasons. He is still very proud to represent the Cobb’s Quay Bertholders and is often down at the marina seeing what is going on. Please come up and say hello. Jonathan hasn’t lost any of his enthusiasm and loves to help out on bertholder events like the Ladies Training Day. Filling in his need for visiting places he currently has a caravan – see his piece in the magazine. Still loving to get out on the water he is always hopeful of an offer to crew.

The boats have gradually got bigger and she is now crew on ‘Solaris’ - a Sealine S34 berthed on C35. With partner Ivor, she has participated in many CQBHA cruises – including their first Channel Crossing over 10 year ago.

Nina Dunne – Cruising Secretary

Nina has been involved with motor boats since childhood. Since meeting Jon, she has been introduced to keel boat sailing and whilst her children grew up was actively involved in dinghy racing and organising various regattas. In 2003 Jon and Nina sold the sailing keel boat they raced and decided to buy a Fairline Targa 27 and enjoyed it so much that in 2005 they became the proud owners of Wildest Dream, a Princess V40, and are normally seen around the harbour and further afield, invariably with the covers off! They have enjoyed the cruises organised by CQBHA and in 2010 Nina agreed to become the Cruising Secretary.

Sarah Cloke

Sarah has joined the committee this year. It's her second year motor cruising on Scary Mary, moored on D22 in Cobbs Quay Marina. It's all a bit new, so Scary is aptly named. Sarah has been driving ribs and Scuba diving down here in Dorset for over 10 years now and has some sailing experience from before that. Sarah is loving the change and being able to take the boat away on holiday, with the added security of CQBHA Cruising Club is building her confidence. 'You go away with strangers and come back with friends'

We have meet and continue to meet new friends through boating and after taking on the role of cruising secretary for six years enjoyed helping others like we had been to go that bit further in company for safety.
