Minutes of Committee meeting 1100, Sun 17 Dec 2006.  Chez  Jerry

 

Present: Jerry Clark; Owen Bentley; Peter Beck; Claire Wathes; David Cooper

Apologies: Ashley Deakin; Ben Goakes; Andrew Storer: Chris Geering

 

1.               Matters arising from meeting of 23 August 2006.  
<<Disco: Several weeks 
after the SC Disco, Peter Russell complained about rubbish left at the Village Hall.  
JAC was not aware that there is no rubbish collection from the Hall.  We therefore need 
to remove rubbish after the New Year Party. 

<<Seat offer: PB reported that this had been 
discussed by Burnham Overy Parish Council.  Chris Geering has been contracted to produce 
a simple bench. The arrangements are now between the Parish Council and Harbour Trust.  

<<Peter Beck RYA award:  JAC asked for retrospective endorsement of his authorization of 
travel expenses incurred by Peter & Melba to attend the Ceremony: Agreed.  

<< JAC has sent a note to the Parish News seeking a recruit for regular OOD.


2.               Party:  <<Cttee (& others) needed at Hall at 1000 on Sat 6 Jan to put 
out tables and decorations.  

<<`Bar` to be as last year, ie ticket to include wine or fruit juice, with donations for 
additional glasses.  

<<Melba will chase cttee members and others for contributions nearer the day.  

<<Entertainment:  Owen to compile a nautical quiz.  Contributions from rest of cttee 
(please) to be emailed to Owen.

3.               Radios: have been retrieved from the agents, as full repair appears 
uneconomic.  Both radios are operating, but one has missing display segments and a 
cracked screen, so can only be regarded as a reserve.     The cttee discussed the merits 
of fixed v handheld radios.  Agreed, to obtain quote from Snellings for installation of 
fixed radio on the safety boat.  If cost is reasonable to go ahead, plus purchase of one 
Icom M31 handheld; if fixed radio is impractical or too costly, to purchase 2x Icom M31 or 
similar.  Action PB/JAC/DC.  

<<Safety Boat.  PB reported that the steering/gears had been checked, were now OK and 
will be checked again in pre-season service.

4.               AGM:  <<PB presented the accounts.  The surplus for the year is about £800.

  <<Sailing Programme.  After discussion, agreed: to ask at the AGM whether members prefer 
races in late April or later in the year.  Adult & Child race to be on Sat 25th Aug.  
Possible later dates are Sept 15/16 and Oct 13/14.  Possible dates for a PTA/School day 
are May12 and 23 June (Action JAC).  

<<The 2007 OOD/Safety Boat Rota to be available at 
the AGM  (Action DC), with the aim of filling more of the dates.  

<<Committee Nominations.  As noted in the agenda circulated, Owen is unable to continue as 
VC due to health problems.  David Cooper agreed to be nominated as Vice-Commodore.  The 
remaining members present were willing to continue.  Of the remaining members of the 
cttee, Toby Campbell-Gray is ineligible, due to 3 years arrears in subscription.

5.               Date of next meeting:  Sunday 7 Jan 2007.  Brief, after AGM
