Dell Quay Sailing Club
General Committee Update September
Here are the headlines of the meeting, with a more detailed explanation below.
Headlines
- Covid -There was, as usual, an update regarding Covid, in particular the impact of the three tiers. Members are reminded too of the mantras of 'Face, Space and Trace'! Since that meeting the government has announced a further lockdown. A separate update will be issued.
- AGM - It was confirmed that AGM will be conducted by Zoom this year. This has various consequences which are highlighted below. The GC remains committed to ‘face-to-face’ general meetings (when permitted!) while welcoming the possibility of enhanced participation through virtual voting and attendance.
- CASC – for some time members of the GC have been exploring the possibility of CASC registration. The current plan is to 'park' CASC and allow some other initiatives to run their course.
- Finance – the GC approved the first part of a new finance policy which will commit an annual sum to a long-term savings fund.
- Web Cams - A plan for the return of the ‘North –South Service’ – not trains, but webcams offering a view up and down the harbour!
