More information will be provided closer to the time, including how to nominate a proxy if you are unable to attend, nominate for the General Committee, and access the approved financials for the last financial year.

The AGM is where the General Committee provides an update on how the club is going and plans for the new year and beyond, and gives members an opportunity to give feedback and ask questions.

The AGM also appoints the new committee. If you are interested in considering a role on the committee, please contact anyone on the committee or Amanda for a chat.

Changes to the by-law Section 4 covering Boatshed and Outside Storage

Posted on by

The General Committee has approved changes to the by-law Section 4 covering Boatshed and Outside Storage. The changes relate to:

 – Use of the Sailor App instead of cards to sign on and off for races, which feeds in to the storage points calculation

 – SUP storage allocation process

 – Ability for a member to store one SUP within that members allocated boat storage spot

 – Storage of  A-class catamaran beach wheels on the boat unless used for ground level storage, and removal of rudders from A-class in their storage spots when practical.

 – Approval required for storage of a boat on the floor in the general area, for a maximum of one week

 – Potential penalties in the event of a breach of any storage by-law will include a 5 point storage penalty, or removal of the offending boat/equipment to the outside storage area pending resolution

 – Other minor changes

The revised Bylaws are available here
