11th January Committee Meeting Report 

Graham Tite reported that new mark buoys were now ready for use and the Tug Boat will be ready soon. Training on use of the boat and deployment of marks will be arranged as soon as possible to enable all members to assist the Race Officer.

A proposal to arrange exhibition racing at the Commonwealth Games was discussed but due to the restriction re access and use of the water it was agreed not to proceed.

John Burgoine confirmed that RG65 and DF65 race results would be posted and class results extracted for each class.

Following the SSC Committee meeting on 10th Jan it was reported that tables in the club house were suffering from water damage. The Committee now require that any boats placed on the tables must be dry or a protective cloth/towel used.

The storage cupboard in the changing room is no longer in use. We now use the narrow cabinet in the entrance hall. The combination is the same as the gate at present and members will be notified of any change. It is proposed that the tug boat will be kept in the SSC boathouse details to be finalised.

The club Facebook page will no longer be supported. It will be replaced by a BMYC WhatsApp group. You can gain access by E-mailing Barry df95bnm@gmail.com with you  name and phone number.
