Commenting on the announcement our Commodore, Tim Devlin, said: “The club is looking forward to welcoming the Princess Royal to one of our events next year” adding, “it is a delight for the members that Her Royal Highness has decided to continue the royal patronage of our club.” The club is very grateful to our Admiral, Maj Gen Sir Martin White, the former Lord Lieutenant of the Island, for his help and advice in bringing about this very favourable appointment.
