Can you spare some time?
Currently we have a very successful Club
which is the envy within the harbour. This
success is down to those members who give
up some of their time to ensure the rest of us
enjoy our time within the Club.
At the Club’s and Sections’ AGMs we select
the committees who will either run the Club or
your section for the next year. We are
continually looking for volunteers to help run
the Club and keeping your sections active. If
you have some spare time and would like to
support the Club then do either contact your
Rear Commodore, or myself or the Office for
more information. It is a great way to meet
other members of the Club and have your say
in the future. It only involves giving up a few
hours each month, but it does make a
difference to us all.
Hope to see you at the Club soon
Happy sailing
