The RNSA delivers a broad range of challenging activities which exposes our members to higher levels of residual risk of harm than in many sports (think drowning, boom blow to the head, entrapment in ropes, exposure/hypothermia etc). We therefore have a responsibility to ensure that everything reasonable and practical is done to control these risks to minimise harm; indeed we are obliged to do so under legislation, MOD policy and National Governing Body (RYA) guidance.

Our AGM was held last Saturday at HMS NELSON with 100 members in attendance. The vening also included proze giving and a dinner in the Wardroom. It was great to see so many members, both serving and ex-serving, present to enjoy the evening. The AGM included the loyal greeting, updates from the Commodore, Chairman and Rear Commodores, an overview of the Association's finances, the election of a new Vice Commodore, 3 Rear Commodores and Hon Chaplain and finally a discussion on transformation.
