Citizen of Honour - 2019

In April 2019, Members of Seafarers were delighted to hear that David Grout had been formally recognised as a Fareham Citizen of Honour for his significant volunteer work. All agreed this was richly deserved and felt it appropriate that our quiet and understated Membership Secretary and Chief Instructor (Sailing) had been selected as an outstanding volunteer in the local community.
