Commodore and Tamesis friends meet ex Commodore Peter Mason who was there with his family, at Les Menuires in the three valleys. Just in case you are wondering, they were not actually competing in the World Cup skiing finals just down the road in Meribel last week.
Surely “past” Commodore, not “ex” !!!
I’m pro former!
Far be it for me to suggest anyone who has been Commodore of our illustrious club is past it!
Isn’t it pro forma, John?
“Ex” means many things including “former”, but “past” means “formerly” which is a much more gentlemanly way to describe
one who has held the position of Commodore. Used in golf clubs to describe a “past Captain”, so it must be so !!
