Hutchings Marine Products Ltd.,
2010 Shirt Sleeve Training
March 3, 2010

Hutchings Marine Products 2010 Shirt Sleeve Training was a fantastic success. With dealer participation up from previous years, we would like to take this time to thank you all for coming, for without you, this event would not take place. Also, the over whelming response received from both the dealers and the seminar presenters has been very much appreciated. Thank you all for your continued support. This event certainly surpassed our expectations. With over 85 Dealers, 170 attendees our presenters were kept very busy. The seminars were Aquagard-Flexdel Corp by Greg Devine, Dave and Louis Burgess ….CDI Electronics by Thomas James ….. Marine Tech Panther by Roger Schmid…..Prospec Electronics by Lewis Welsh and Dave Connolly ….. Sierra-Teleflex by Ron Gebbia and William Walker….Turning Point by Doug Wright……Wera Tools by Ian Parkhill and Dave Alford. A special thank you goes out to all of the vendors who made the 2010 New Product Showcase and door prizes possible. A quote from Lewis Welsh of Prospec reconfirms why we do this each year, “This had to be one of the most productive sales training meeting I have ever had.” Another quote, this time from one of our dealers, Tom Bath of Centre Point Landing, “ We really enjoyed the energy from your Team.” Hutchings Marine Products is very fortunate to have an awesome team that works so well together to make this event a great success. This is obvious by the hard work and effort that went into the presentation of the event, organizing door prizes and especially the “2010 New Product Showcase” which was spear headed by Melissa Hincks and supported by her co-workers. It was great to have Rob Davidson, Instructor of Georgian College Apprenticeship Kevin Janes, Paul Rumble and Joel McFayden. Rob was able to inform over 85 dealers personally how great the apprenticeship program is working and what benefits are available to the dealers when they did come on board with the co-op program. It works great for everyone. Captain Gary Losee was also there from Georgian College to put more clarity to the MED-A3 regulation being enforced this year. Marine Emergency Duties. Once again the Boston Pizza in Gravenhurst had hosted the Tuesday night kick off for the guest presenters and staff. As always, they have done a splendid job in a very professional and timely fashion, finishing it off with their fabulous hot brownies. Muskoka Heritage was our venue once again and hosted our event. Ann Curley does a wonderful job in making it all come together. The North Restaurant catered the luncheon and coffee breaks for the 2nd time. This is a great mix that Hutchings is very fortunate to have available to us. Thank you to all who helped make this event a great success. It is yet to be confirmed, but it looks like Wednesday March 2, 2011 will be the date for our 7th annual Shirt Sleeve Training.
