Vacant Committee Posts

After the Nomination meeting last Friday, the following posts are still without Nominations:

  • Vice Commodore
  • Bosun
  • Maintenance Committee (1 member)
  • Sailing Committee (2 members)
  • Social Committee (3 members)

Please think long and hard about how you could contribute to help the club run. The more you put in the more you get out (I still maintain that view even after 10 months as Commodore, honest). If you want to find out more about what the posts involve, please feel free to talk to me or the club officer for the relevant committee (Paul Lovejoy for Sailing).

Thanks

I’m sure Members will join me offering a vote of thanks to those carried out this years somewhat protracted lay-up lift-in, mentioning in particular: Ian Smith, Andy Goodyear, Frank Sharvill, Keith Prior Smith and ”water babies’: Steve, Colin and Mark.

Also thanks for the forbearance of the Frostbite Series guys. Hope you get a chance to get a replacement race in.
