There was a quick welcome from President Joe. Then Dick’s Hotel manager Paul and Vice Captain Emma stood at each end of a black and yellow silk ribbon, holding it tight. Skipper Renate stepped up, unleashed the ceremonial scissors and cut the ribbon to launch the new season. As expected, the crowd went nuts.
