4) Treasurers Report

Noted

Current balance is £940.63

Approx Outgoings for the year £400 for fuel

£100 for safety equip

£ 100 prizes

£ 100 engraving of cups

The current income from race fees is £ 600 this is down £400 at present. This is due to the dinghy com not being firm enough in collecting race fees.

The section needs to make £1000 income. JG felt that this alone could come from race fees. But there needed to be a better system of collecting them.

HP suggested an alternative costing for those who only raced on Sundays £20 and those who only raced on Wednesdays £ 20 and a joint fee for both. £30. JG cast some doubts as to whether this would raise sufficient funds. AP to investigate using the current number of sailors who race.

Agreed

No publishing of race results for non payment of race fees, not paid to be placed next to name on results sheet. Non payers names to be put on the notice board.

The dinghy section cannot afford to subsidise the Laying Up Supper this year. It was felt by all present that £14 for a three course meal was very reasonable.

5) AOB

Noted

HP suggested an Laser 2000 millennium event for October 15^th. She also suggested this could be held with RS 200’s as a joint venture.

The restoration of the 4 club Lasers was discussed
