Chairman’s Report

 

4.1

RT read an e-mail that had been received from RB suggesting that National Class Chairmanship should be held by the club holding that National Championship that year.  Following discussion it was agreed that this was not an acceptable proposal as it takes time to understand the workings of the fleet in the two areas.  It was therefore proposed and agreed that the rule remain as is and that the National Class Chairman remain in office for five years.  It was therefore assumed that Ian Reid would take on the role following his year away.

MHC to reply to RB in this regard

MC advised the fleet that there is approximately £5,000 of funds held in the account and suggested we distribute £500 to each fleet plus an extra £500 to the South West to aid with the 50th Anniversary Championship.  This was agreed unanimously.
