A very fine celebration of the life of Karen Thomas (Lucy Cavendish College) was held in Copythorne (SO40 2NZ) on Saturday 22 October 2022. Six CUCrC sailors attended, along with Thomas family and friends, plus a crowd of local school and sailing friends of Karen, former Topper squad sailors, and sailors from Karen’s time at Bangor and Birmingham Universities. A full tribute to Karen appears on the CUCrC website.
