Club Night at North Shore
Join us on the first Wednesday of each month for a club Get together at the North Shore Shop.
Wed 2nd May (please note date change) Bob McDavitt presents:  "Weather - a mix of pattern & chaos" Come and hear a most entertaining weather guru! Bob McDavitt Bob McDavitt was born in Marton, and schooled in Wellington. He graduated with degrees in Maths and Computer Science from Victoria University in Wellington in 1973 and 1974. He has been a meteorologist since 1975, forecasting for marine, aviation and the general media around New Zealand and in Fiji. In 1998 he was awarded the "Henry Hill Award" for his enthusiastic approach to sharing ideas about the weather. He is a veteran from two campaigns for the America's Cup (in Perth and San Diego), and has helped Swashbucklers break records crossing the Tasman Sea and circumnavigating NZ, and Earth Race and Jessica Watson in circumnavigating the world. For twenty years he was the MetService Weather Ambassador, and focused on promoting friendly relations with weather users. This involved communicating awareness about any incoming nasty weather, keeping an eye on the impact of the weather on the coming season and any special events, and arranging MetService promotions, displays, and exhibitions. Nowadays he is in semi-retirement and continues to talk with weather users and help sailors cruising around the South Pacific. bobmcdavitt@hotmail.com 0277762212 7.00pm at the shop CLICK HERE TO BOOK YOUR SPOT See you there!!
