Message from Commodore
Dear Members,
I am pleased to announce for the 2024/5 season, the Executive Committee has elected not to increase the membership fees over last year. This decision was reached recognising the cost of living pressures that we are all experiencing.
We look forward to seeing as many members as possible at the AGM on 28th July at 2:30pm.
Best wishes, Tony
