Wormit Boating Club Laburnum Gavel
This gavel was made by Alistair Monro of Monifieth from the wood of the laburnum tree planted at Woodhaven in 1944 to commemorate a visit by King Haakon of Norway that year. The Norwegian Airforce 333 Squadron was stationed at Woodhaven during the war. It was given to Wormit Boating Club for use by the committee.
In June 2005, an identical gavel was presented by Commodore Jim Aitken of Wormit Boating Club to Lt. Col. Bernt Martinussen C.O. Of 333 Squadron to take back to Norway.
