Happy Birthday to our Chairman Mr Fergusson.

Warmest birthday greetings to our much-loved and respected Chairman, Captain George (Billy) Fergusson:

Capt. Fergusson, we can remember many years ago how many faces would light up when you visited the High Commission: it took a while  to find out part of the reason was not only that you knew everyone by name, but they were all hoping for the flying fish you would bring!  (And you knew how to get the party started)! (You certainly had all the moves!)

Always a kind and generous man, your hosting with your partner Charles onboard the Harbour Master was legendary:  one such party can be recalled which could have been disastrous, when one of the limbo dancers in the cabaret act had to leave rapidly with her costume ablaze!  While the Barbados coastguard rushed to take the young lady ashore for a check-up, you kept up the party atmosphere in the best traditions, and everyone continued to have an amazing time onboard.  Fortunately, the young lady wasn’t hurt!

Those were such good times, and we all at BMSR are so grateful that you remain the same genial, kind and inspiring person to all. We have been fortunate to have had the benefit of your vast experience at the disposal of the team, without differentiating between those people.

We sincerely wish you a fabulous birthday enjoyed with your whole family, including the BMSR team.  For all those wise years passed, we are grateful. For the many yet to come we are thankful.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!
