Club Assembly

Thu, Jun 10th 2021 at 7:00 pm - 9:00 pm


This evening we held our Club assembly via Zoom, and welcomed our ADG Richard Perkins. Another visitor was Neil Thomas, a potential new member of the club.

After opening the meeting, our President Mike Haythorpe handed over to our Vice President Paul Weatherill, who outlined his plans for the coming year, including the hope that face to face meetings can resume. We also heard from the various Committee chairs about their plans for the coming year. In summarising what he had heard, our ADG gave a very favourable report on our club, suggesting one or two areas we may wish to venture next year.

Richard was particularly interested in the Shelterboat project, whereby Paul W will sail a boat created around a Shelterbox from Hickling to Norwich, via Great Yarmouth, a distance of some 50 miles, to raise funds for Shelterbox. A date for the launch, hopefully later this summer, will be announced soon.
