What's New

The postponement of the AGM planned for the 8 Jul, provides an opportunity for me to issue an update to the draft Financial Plan 2011, which is now available to view on the website. I have included all the comments received (from both the members who contributed!) and stand by to receive others. Apart from editorial changes, the major change has been to cruiser mooring fees, which have been simplified. Please do not leave it to the AGM to raise objections or observations. Pete Harris - Treasurer.

Annual General Meeting 1900 8 Jul 10. I have produced a draft Financial Plan for 2011, which is now on the website under Miscellaneous Documents. Please read and raise any issues with me before the meeting. Of significance are the proposed increases in Cruiser Mooring, Hire of the Clubhouse and Suzy-Jo and Changi charges. The plan is more detailed than that offerred previously. Pete Harris - Treasurer.

Financial Statement 2009. As discussed at the last AGM, this year we will have a single AGM, rather than an AGM and an EGM, which is both a good excuse for a get together and a party, whilst at the same time doing the necessary administration of endorsing last year's (2009) Financial Statement and next year's (2011) Financial Plan. The 2009 Financial Statement is in Miscellaneous Documents on the Web Site, and the full document will be in the clubhouse from 4 May. If you have any questions on either document, please ask me asap; don't save it for the meeting! The date of the meeting will be promulgated soon.

Your membership key will give you access to all areas with the exception of the following:

CHANGI and SUZY JO - All keys required to hire both day boats are now on the respective key bunches for the craft including the fuel locker. Please ensure the petrol tanks are replenished after use and that you either send a cheque to the Treasurer or place in letterbox placed on the bar door within the Clubhouse immediately after use.

KAYAK & CANOE COMPOUND - The key to the compound is now held in the Canoe Locker above the booking out register.
