Manila Boat Club

It is with great regret that we report the passing of Ted Deed on January 31st. He had a bad fall and deteriorated rapidly threafter. His daughter eased his discomfort by describing a row on the Pasig to him in his last moments. The MBC colours will be flown at half-mast until 8pm on February 8th when they will be lowered, togther with the Philippine Flag to the playing of the Last Post. A commemorative wreath will then be cast into the Ilog Pasig in memory of SVO Ted's last trip downstream. It is compulsory that all attendees have their tankards and glasses charged and drink heartily to the memory of our lost Captain.
