David Houlton has served as Secretary for the last 10 years and retired from the post at the AGM.  To mark the occasion of his retirement and to thank him he was unanimously awarded Honorary Membership of the Class Association and this was in addition to the beautiful half model of Elinor (his Contessa 26) which was made by Jeremy Rogers which we had the pleasure to present him at the 50th Anniversary Rally Dinner attended by 130 people.

We request that you no longer email David Houlton on the Contessa 26 Class business to save him forwarding lots of emails.
