Monday February 27th 2012 is the official AGM of The Royal County of Berkshire Yacht Club.
The Annual General Meeting is the night where Club Officers and Committee are elected to stand, to represent the Members and secure the future of the club for the next 12 months. It is also the night where the Officers and Committee formally report on the financial and non financial affairs of the Club - so you can find out what's happening and what's planned for the year ahead.
Should the Officers and Committee consider that there needs to be a change to the official Club Rules, then this is the night where any proposals may be discussed and implemented if approved.
During the evening, we will announce the sum in the charitable fund from our efforts over the past year. Recall this year we are raising funds for The RNLI and the Ellen McArthur Trust. Next year (2012) we will raise funds for RNLI and the Tall Ships Youth Trust.
There will also be a raffle and due to popular demand a Boatie Quiz. We will approve the 2011 Minutes which can be found on the website.
We will provide a light buffet and light refreshments. Please could you indicate your attendance on the night by signing up for the 'event' .
