Australian 12 Square Metre Carnival.
Melbourne 1951-52.

Host Clubs:
Aussie Titles held at Sandringham and Black Rock Yacht Clubs.
Tomlinson Memorial Race held at Brighton Yacht Club.

This programme was sent to me by Margie Shields (wife of the late Donnie) in August 2023.

Here is a part of a letter that Margie wrote and sent with a copy of the 1951-52 programme and I quote.

"I found these Twelve Square Metre booklet and photos from ages ago. Possibly no interest if you already have them but because of Don's interest, I had to forward them to you.
You have achieved a fantastic history for the LWSA and I'm only sorry that Don is not around to read every word. It was a dream of his, which he wasn't capable of doing - especially hand written".


Thank you Margie for the info and I also miss Donnie, he was a great character, and in the past years, we often chatted and without Donnie's boxes of info that he sent me, NO ONE would be viewing any of this historical Sharpie info. Donnie's info got me started and from there it just snowballed.
