Membership Subscriptions

 Membership Subscriptions

The Committee have reluctantly decided that, having kept membership subscription rates fixed for the last six years, the time has now come that, in order to maintain an income adequate to meet the operating expenses of the Club, they will have to be increased for 2023.

Operating expenses of the Club, the major items of which are Insurance and Lake and Clubhouse Rent, are expected to rise substantially in 2023.

The Committee are therefore proposing that the membership subscription rates for 2023 will be increased as follows:

Senior Membership:        Increase from £30 to £35

Family Membership:        Increase from £40 to £45

Concession Rate:            Increase from £25 to £30

The existing Joining Fee of £10 will remain unchanged.

These subscription increases are subject to ratification at the AGM, when a formal proposal will be presented for approval by the membership.

Annual General Meeting and Prize Giving

Annual General Meeting and Prize Giving

The Annual General meeting of the Club will be held Wednesday December 14, at 7.30 p.m. in the Clubhouse, when Officers' Reports for the last year will be presented, the election of Officers and Committee for the next year will be take place, the annual accounts will be presented and other formal business will be transacted.

Nominations for Officers and Members of the Committee are invited, and should be sent to the Commodore, John Berry. The Committee needs new, younger members to ensure the continuing prosperity of the Club, as most of the existing Committee will not be able to continue in post for much longer. Any member interested in taking a role in the running of the Club should make their interest known to the Commodore.

The evening will also feature the presentation of trophies and awards for winners and runners-up of the various sailing and model construction competitions held during the year.

All members are urged to attend the AGM, the last Club meeting of the current year.

Mince pies will be served, and there will be a raffle.
