Dear All,

I have been asked to offer a quick summary of what was discussed in the committee meeting yesterday. I have offered to do this for 1 month, as a trial. If you find it useful, then I will do after every meeting:

Membership: We presently have a total of 70 members.

Treasurers report: We now have clear sight on our costs versus income which is enabling us to make good decisions. This year we will should be able to break even. It was highlighted we are forecasted to have some higher spend over the next couple of years that we will need to bridge.

Safety: Our Safety Officer was not present at the meeting.

Water based events: We have recently competed in the Great River Race in London and the Head of the Dart race in Totnes. You should be able to see some great photos very shortly on our website. In August, half of our members, we involved in the seine boat regatta as part of the Royal Regatta. We came 2nd overall.

Shore based events: We expect to be holding our next land-based social event sometime in November. Look out for details very soon!

Bosun: We are pleased with our newly refurbished oars. We have agreed to put them in Aimee over the next few days. Aimee’s present oars will then be refurbished.

Website: The old website has now been decommissioned. Please take a look at the new website if you have not already.

And finally, may I remind you all that our AGM is on Thursday 10 th October at 7pm where I will provide a quick overview on what we have been doing as a club and what we plan to do over the coming year. I hope to see you there.

Noel
