What about the Committee Boat Team?

Originally posted by sargesail it often helps you to avoid calling him a d**k if you know that his name is actually Ted

But what do you do if his name really is Dick?

Guys, how can someone who has turned up after driving 50+ miles, rigged, gone sailing, come in, had lunch, gone sailing, come in packed up and got ready to go home at a reasonable time before his pass out expires seriously be expected to find out, and remember, the names of everyone who helped run the event?

The PRO will introduce himself at the briefing at the start he may or may not introduce his helpers.

Of course the report writer may be able to find out everyone's name, but I bet for a typical club event there are around 20 people involved. That's a big word count just in thank yous!!

i like to thank the OD and his team by name to be honest. not all of them, but maybe ''Jim the OD, Tom on the rescue boat and all of their helpers.'' or something like that. it means a lot more to thank someone by name than by generalisation.
