In the early hours of New Year’s day, our membership system, WebCollect, auto generated renewals and emailed members the categories that are being renewed, and the method of collection.
A subsequent email seems to have caused some confusion resulting in various members duplicating their subscription order. These additional orders are being monitored and corrected as necessary.
If changes to your membership categories from last year are necessary either let David know, or login and make the necessary amendments.
If you wish to take up an option to pay for camping weekends at a discounted rate, this can be added without having to re-enter your membership categories.
If you have any queries or concerns, do not hesitate to contact us.
It has been noticed that a Supernova has been blown off its trailer and is on its side leaning onto another boat. No obvious damage at present, but it needs lifting onto its trailer and tied down.
With the current round of high winds, pop down to the club and check your boat is secure and safe. What else is there to do at this time of year?
Wishing all our members, friends and visitors a very merry Christmas
