2017 Dinghy show
« on: February 21, 2017, 08:59:22 PM »
Good Day all Cherub sailors
 
As some of you may have guessed due to the lack of the yearly ‘Boat show stand rota” thread we will not be hosting a stand at the boat show this year.
 
As was spoken about at the AGM we have had a few lean years on class income and it has got to the point that it would leave us with very little in the bank if we were to attend this year’s boat show.   Therefore the committee made the hard decision to forgo this year’s dinghy show to recover our bank balance and put us in a better position moving forward.
 
We have also taken a closer look at all of our out goings and, add to this the restructuring of the class membership for the coming year, we should be in a much healthier position moving forward for the years to come.
 
This year’s class membership will be a requirement for all crew and helms attending the Nationals as well as the open meetings.  This will be able to be paid in two ways.
1.   Pay the £30 up front (now)  into the class bank account (Details can be found here. http://www.uk-cherub.org/doku.php/shop )
2.   Pay £10 at each of the first 3 Open meetings you attend to a member of the class committee.
                    Once you have paid £10 three times you will become a full class member.
4.   All entries at the nationals will be required to be class members.
 
This structure will hopefully improve our position over the coming years enabling us to commit earlier for next year’s boat show and guarantee a better position within the halls.
 
Please look out for the NOR of this year’s open meetings coming out in the next few days. It would be good to see as many boats as we can out for the first event in Rutland.
 
If anyone has any concerns or comments please do not hesitate to get in touch with me to talk about them.  ([email protected])
 
Thank you.
 
Nick

Out of interest, how much does it usually cost the class to have a stand at the dinghy show?

I will be at the show on the Sunday.  If people fancy meeting up for a pint/coffe let me know.
