Treasurer’s Report |
|
|
MC advised the fleet that there
is approximately £5,000 of funds held in the account and suggested we
distribute £500 to each fleet. This was agreed unanimously. TA said that the amount held by
the class was higher than the level advised by the Charities Commissioners
for Charities. MC said that if either
fleet had a proposal that required financial support from the class, then it
could be brought to the AGM for agreement. |

JW raised two items. Firstly he reminded the class
that the original proposal for twin poles had been on a temporary basis. It was agreed that as some boats had
invested in the use of twin poles there was no appetite to revisit the issue
in the class rules. Secondly, he noted that a number
of boats had been worked on and not re-weighed. He shared the weights from the original weighing’s
and the meeting agreed by a majority vote that these should be published on
the class website. |
