Notice of AGM

READING SAILING CLUB AGM
11th December 2014
Venue: Berkshire County Sports Club, Sonning Lane, Sonning, RG4 6ST.
The RSC committee is delighted to invite you to attend the club’s Annual General Meeting on 11th December. Members are invited to join the committee for drinks and a finger buffet from 7.00pm, followed by the formal AGM proceedings and prize giving at 7.30pm.
The current committee has been in place for 1 year with some members having served for several years and is offering to stand again for election this year. Nominations from individuals wishing to take on committee roles are welcome for any of the posts. In particular the committee is looking for a volunteer to take on the role as club secretary, since Simon Bray is stepping down from his role as membership secretary after 8 years and Sylvia Bohnenstengel has offered to take over from him as membership secretary leaving the position of club secretary vacant. Please speak to any members of the committee to find out what is involved in the role. Our sailing club strongly depends on every single member to run the club so please consider joining us and help us running the club.
Any members wishing to propose a resolution should send this in advance to the club’s Commodore Alistair Johnson or again by returning this email by 4th December 2014.
At the AGM the committee will propose changes to the club constitution, a development plan for the club, and changes to the membership fees at the AGM. A link to the current club constitution can be found here: www.readingsc.org.uk/RSC_constitution_7_Jan_08.pdf
As per current constitution only full single members and adult members covered by a family subscription (i.e. categories 1 and 2) are eligible to hold office and vote at meetings.
A full agenda and detail on the proposals will be published shortly.
Alistair’s email address is: alistair@spacreators.co.uk
If you are coming to the meeting or can’t make it and would like to send you apologies, please emailenquiries@readingsc.org.uk
