Commodores Blog December 2018

Published 17:34 on 1 Dec 2018

2018 saw a number of developments that should make the club stronger and better prepared to respond to future challenges. In particular our focus upon training saw the qualification of a number of Dinghy and Assistant Instructors whilst we also invested in a future proof Lead Safety boat. However one of the most significant decisions was to upgrade our Website which is planned to launch end November, early December 2018.

A significant amount of time has been invested in the back office development of this management system and we hope that you are pleased with the shop window view and functionality that this new site will deliver, such as – online renewal and booking events, selecting your own roster for Power / Safety boat and OOD.

The club finished the year on a high with all Committee posts being filled at the AGM in readiness for 2019. We do however have some Non Committee posts that remain vacant, namely

1. Fund Raising – seeking out options to secure grant aid

2. Press Officer – linking up with local publications and promoting awareness for SSC

3. Bosun – pre-check of training dinghies and organising to maintain and repair throughout theseason.

These are all essential roles and whilst we had a great response from members that attended the AGM (circa 30% of members) we need to reach out to the 70% that unfortunately could not be there but that would be willing to give one of these roles a go.

In addition we are looking for a) any DIY enthusiasts that can become part of a Core Team helping the Rear Commodore maintain and improve the club house b) Catering and organisational skills to be part of the Core Team helping the Social Secretary with events throughout the year.

For all of the above roles please drop me a line for a chat where I can explain the requirements. commodore@slaughdensailingclub.co.uk

Next event – Artic Antic Race on January 01 at 11 am with Lunch / Festive Fare – Happy New Year!

Finally please remember as you consider buying your Christmas presents on line to do this via the Slaughden Sailing Club 'e shop'. This is just a link that will then take you to the retailers site but for which the club will earn a commission from the retailer. Shop here

On behalf of the Committee we wish members a very Merry Christmas and look forward to an eventful 2019.
